Johnpaul Okechukwu · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Deviance refers to behaviors that violate social norms or expectations, rather than simply departing from statistical averages. Conformity refers to adhering to social norms or expectations, informal punishment refers to negative consequences for violating social norms, and sociology is the study of human society and social behavior, but none of these concepts specifically refer to deviance. Therefore, only choice C is the correct answer.
