Answer:

When economists make normative statements, they are speaking not as scientists but as policy advisers.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

  • In the view of economists, certain topics cannot be referred to as rigid or certain.
  • When they have to propose their opinion with reference to such topics, they usually choose to render normative statements.
  • Through normative statements, they only put forth a value judgment describing the desirability or undesirability of the condition.
  • These statements are not deemed as enforceable neither need to be given due emphasis.
