c.   In some cities such as San Francisco and New York, it would be impossible for low-skilled workers to live in the city without minimum wage laws.
d.   The gains to winners of a minimum wage law should be valued more highly than the losses to losers because the latter primarily comprises businesses.

B) a and b are positive statements, c and d are normative statement.
C) Only a is a positive statement, b, c and d are normative statements.
