Stephens · Answer 1

D) positive deviance

Explanation:

In the context that this event took place, was absolutely normal the segregation of black people in different spheres of society. The civil rights demanded equality before the law but traditional efforts, like violence, were marginal and not accepted in this movement. The case of Rosa Park is a clear example of a positive deviance, embodies and faces a cultural anomaly refusing to accept the norm stablished till that moment.
