Abigail Gordon · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Both positive law theory and natural law theory rely on an external source for their understanding of law, morality, and rights. Positive law theory looks to the laws and regulations that are established by society and enforced by the state, while natural law theory looks to a higher, universal law that is discovered through reason and intuition. Both reject the idea of subjective or relativistic morality, instead looking for objective standards that apply to all individuals. However, they differ in their ultimate source of authority, with positive law theory emphasizing the role of the state, and natural law theory emphasizing the role of natural law or divine law.
