Answer:

b) positive

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive statement refrains only to "what it is, it was or shall be"

It doesn't make any judgment of approval or disapproval. It can be tested through observation or experiment to determinate their veracity

While a normative statement makes moral or economic judgment and therefore it contains the author of the statement belief system attached to the sentence it is not partial. It cannot be tested as it is based on values
