Answer: Option (a) is correct

Explanation:

Analysis of deviance is used for investigating about deviating act that a person perform for contracting from dominant social norm, culture, practices or behavior. This violation makes the person differ from the parent group.

Evaluation on analysis of deviation performed by any individual is major focus for determining the deviation. It depend on the investigator that deviation has occurred or not through breaking norms.

Other options are incorrect because relativity, objectivity, breaching norms, absolute process or losing social control are not the factors that impact conduction deviance analysis. Thus, the correct option is option (a).
