Answer

A

Explanation

The constructionist approach to devianceance in sports indeed emphasizes that societal norms and group expectations play a significant role in defining what is considered acceptable or unacceptable behavior. This perspective posits that deviance is not inherent in an act, but is instead a label applied by society to certain behaviors. Therefore, what is considered deviant can vary from one society or group to another, and is often influenced by power dynamics and societal change.
