Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In sociology, Relative Deprivation Theory, Resource Mobilization Theory, and Political Process Theory are major explanatory theories of how and why social movements emerge and succeed. 'Normative theory', however, is a general philosophical/political framework about 'what ought to be' and does NOT specifically belong to the concept of social movements.
