Which of the following is an example of laws in the sense described?

• A. Personal preferences about fashion
• B. Unwritten family rules
• C. Traffic laws regulating driving on roads
• D. A moral opinion about honesty

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is how formal laws differ from informal norms and personal beliefs. Traffic laws regulating driving on roads are created by government authorities, written down in codes, and backed by official sanctions. They prescribe specific conduct and outline penalties for violations, applying uniformly within a jurisdiction. That official, enforceable status is what makes them laws in the sense described.

In contrast, personal fashion preferences are subjective tastes, unwritten family rules are informal expectations within a particular group, and a moral opinion about honesty is a personal belief about what’s right. None of these carry the same formal, legally enforceable status as traffic laws. They may guide behavior, but they don’t constitute laws with codified rules and legal penalties.
