Answer:

b. is a positive statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive statements describes what is and not ones personal opinion or value judgements.

An example of a positive statment is when prices increase, demand falls.

A normative statement describes value judgement and it is not based on empirical evidence.

An example of a normative statment is the government ought to increase prices of junk food so people can eat more healthy food.
