Hello there!

When understanding the word (sociologist), we need to remember that this would signify on how a person would examine how another person would act. Perhaps the process that people develop would be one aspect that sociologist would take notice of.

But, from reviewing the options listed, we would want to find a statement that would sound like a sociologist understanding.

Your answer: People who purposefully or accidentally break a social norm will most likely be considered deviants for the rest of their lives.

This would be an aspect that the sociologist would definitely consider.
