Solution:
The correct answer is (C) What wage should be paid to the laborers so that they should not be exploited?
Normative economics is concerned with value judgments and opinions about what ought to be, rather than what is. It is about recommending policies or making decisions based on subjective criteria.
Option (C) is a normative statement because it is about what wage should be paid, based on a subjective opinion that laborers should not be exploited.
Option (A) is a positive statement because it is about how national income is distributed, which is a factual issue that can be analyzed without value judgments.
Option (B) is a positive statement because it is about what actual wage rate is determined under monopsony in the labor market, which is also a factual issue that can be analyzed without value judgments.
Option (D) is incorrect because at least option (C) falls within the domain of normative economics.
Correct option is (c)
