What is meant by the term "normative order"?

  1. Established rules and regulations

  2. Unwritten rules of behavior

  3. Established legal and cultural traditions

  4. Norms of behavior within a society

The correct answer is: Norms of behavior within a society

A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not encompass the full meaning of the term "normative order". While they do touch on different aspects of the concept, they do not fully capture the idea of a set of norms or behaviors that are accepted and expected within a society. Option D is the most accurate as it specifically mentions behavioral norms within a society, which is at the core of the concept of normative order.
