C
Exclusion from the group
D
Group approval
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The societal type of transgression is social transgression that happens whenever an individual steps out of and/or breaks social rules (for instance, refusal to wear clothes in public spaces) (see, for instance, Florian & Mikulincer, 1997; Malle & Moses, 2001 for applications in psychological research).

Detailed explanation-2: -Specifically, the results suggest that social norm transgressions are positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. The results of the present research also suggest that fear of negative evaluation may play a role in the association between social norm transgressions and poor mental health.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four types of social norms are: folkways, mores, taboos, and laws.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, you should not do anything that breaks a law, disrupts a class or public event, involves sexual behavior or sexually explicit speech, hurts or threatens others, or includes taking or damaging other people’s property–such norm violations will result in a score of zero.
