Answer:

Both

Step-by-step explanation:

Aristotle and Sophist believe that what is considered as 'Right or Wrong' is extremely subjective. Our interpretation of morality tend to be heavily depended on situations, our experience and the things that our social group teach us.

To understand their view, let's examine a situation when a person has to kill a burglar. The act of 'Killing' Generally considered as wrong. But in that particular situation, most people will justify the killing and wouldn't blame the killer.
