D. india spends a huge amount on money on national defence

Answer 1

In this example,an example of normative statement is that "the minimum wage should be raised to Rs.200 per day".Hence,the correct answer would be option C. in this case.

Explanation:

Normative statements are usually defined as general statements or arguments which expresses a particular opinion or perception which cannot be verified or practically tested.Hence,normative statements are often described as judgment or opinion based which reflect personal thoughts or perceptions of any individual.These are general opinions or assertions which cannot be really tested or verified in order prove/disprove their credibility.In this case,when any individual states that the minimum wage in the country should be increased to Rs. 200,it ideally represents his or her personal opinion or belief and hence,cannot be proved or disproved with support of any empirical facts,data or information.Therefore,among all the options given,this particular statement can be reasonably considered as a normative statement.
