Option 1 : Only A and B

The social sciences encompass diverse concerns of society and include a wide range of content, drawn from the disciplines of history, geography, political science, economics, and sociology.

•  Normative Concerns: The social sciences carry a normative responsibility to create and widen the popular base for human values, namely freedom, trust, mutual respect, and respect for diversity.
• The major thrust of the social science curriculum has remained utilitarian in nature. That is to say, it puts more emphasis on developmental issues that are important but not sufficient to understand the normative dimension – issues of equality, justice, and dignity of society polity.
• Given this, social science teaching should aim at investing in children a critical moral and mental energy to make them alert to the social forces that threaten these values. Through the discussion of concerns such as threats to the environment, caste/class inequality, and state repression, through an interdisciplinary approach, the textbook should stimulate the child’s thought process and creativity.

Thus, it is concluded that Issues of Equality and Justice are the normative concerns of a social science curriculum.
