A safety report estimates the chance of a spill at one in ten thousand deliveries. A board member says that risk is acceptable only if nearby residents receive advance notice. Which classification is correct?

The probability estimate is normative because it concerns safety; the notice condition is descriptive because notices can be sent.
B
Both claims are descriptive because both can appear in a safety report.
C
The probability estimate is descriptive; the acceptable-only-if-notice claim is normative.
D
Both claims are normative because risk is never a factual concept.
