Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Mores are the moral norms, beliefs, and standards that a society holds, which dictate what is considered serious and right or wrong behavior. Pedophilia and child abuse are universally condemned in Canadian society (as in many others), reflecting a deep adherence to mores rather than just values (which are general beliefs), sanctions (which are penalties for breaking norms), or folkways (which are everyday habits and conventions).
