Answer: Option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

Normative statements are the statements that include value that is used for describing desirability and undesirability of situation. It is based on further requirements, need and perspective.

According to the question, statement that provide description about world should be is a normative statement as it describes the possible requirements for world.
