Answer:

A. An idea that is not necessarily true or scientifically proven, but is developed by people.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a concept created by society, something created by social use or customs. For example, the notion of "race" is a socially constructed concept. Race is not really a scientific fact, but we use it and we give content to it by our social use in a context.
