D. Norms are not affected by culture.

Explanation:

Norms can be defined as an accepted standard, a way of behaving or doing things that is considered normal in a certain society. Social norms are informal understandings that determine the behavior of an individual belonging to a society. These understandings make social interactions run more smoothly. An example of a social norm is personal space. We know how close or far we should be standing from different people. If we've just met someone, logically, we are going to stand farther from them than from someone we've known for years. Just like other norms (including norms of expressiveness), this one is affected by culture. Different cultures have different ideas of how close to someone you can be while talking to them, which may cause issues when more people from different cultures interact with each other. Unless we are thinking about them, we are not even aware of norms and the moments in our lives controlled by them.
