Answer 1

Answer:

A. performing genital mutilations on nonconsenting female teens

Explanation:

Ethical relativism is the theory that states  that morality is relative to the norms of an invidual's traditions and culture in a particular location.

That is, whether an action is right or wrong depends on the moral norms of the society in which it is practiced. The same action may be morally right in one continent but be morally wrong in another continent.

From the example given above, genital mutilations is morally right in most countries in the African continent but morally wrong in the American continent.
