Yanıt Açıklaması:

Deviance in the daily language means departing from a recognized path and refers to actions that do not fit the expectations and norms of a particular social group. In general terms, deviance could be defined as the visible violation of cultural norms. The concept of deviance is much broader than the concept of crime, which describes incompatible behavior that violates only one law. Deviances do not always involve an action or preference. Even the presence of some people could be a problem to others. The social bases of deviance could be listed as follows: (1) Deviance varies depending on cultural norms. No thought or behavior is deviant by itself, but they become deviant in terms of their relation to certain norms. (2) People become deviant because the others qualify them as such. (3) The definition of norms and violations of rules by societies involves social power. The correct answer is Choice D.
