Kelvin Christensen · Answer 1

b. cultural relativism

Explanation:

Cultural relativism refers to the ideology that what applies to current situation do not necessarily apply to another situation also.

As in the given instance the Shangrilah Sandals make grease payments in their own country as it is a developing country, but do not practice the same in another country called US as it is a developed country.

As the income of people in that country is high they do not believe in taking or accepting grease payments.

Thus, the correct option is:

b. cultural relativism
