b. Double dipping is still deviant whenever it receives a negative reaction.

Explanation:

Double dipping can be regarded as as social dilemma and more of a social issue rather than a hygiene issue. Although, many people still believe that double dipping is not hygienic and that it causes transfer of bacteria but even if that aspect is ignored, many people would be still bothered by double dipping. Hence, the social behavior will still receive a negative reaction irrespective of the fact that it spreads germs or not.
