Normative theories are generally concerned with value laden concepts. Universal law, principles, peace and ethics are some of these concepts; however, the universal anarchy is not one of these concepts. The answer is C.

Normative theories, adopt human being’s freedom and capability to determine the outside world rather than emphasizing the influence of international structure and national interest.

They introduce some proposals to foreign policy decision makers about the social issues to be taken into consideration. The correct answer is B

The principle of non-intervention involves the right of every sovereign State to conduct its affairs without outside interference; …“the principle forbids all States or groups of States to intervene directly or indirectly in the internal or external affairs of other States” and that “a prohibited intervention must accordingly be one bearing on matters in which each State is permitted, by the principle of State sovereignty, to decide freely. Intervention is wrongful when it uses methods of coercion in regard to such choices, which must remain free ones.” The correct answer is E.
