Question

If a piece of matter violates nature’s law, it is not punished because-
A. It is not binding to obey it
B. There is no superior being to enforce the law of nature
C. It cannot be punished
D. It simply means the facts have not been correctly stated by law

Answer 1

Hint: “Nature’s Law’ means how nature has been functioning up until now. This is purely the observation of human beings based on their study of nature which can be physical, chemical or biological.

Complete step by step answer:
Because ‘law’ according to human society means something that needs to be strictly adhered to, it may not mean the same in the given context; as mentioned it is a term coined by humans based on their understanding of nature, which sometimes may be limited. As humans we have not explored the entire concept of nature, so expecting any piece of matter to abide by a law that is not completely understood by humans is rather an obtuse expectation.
Let's look at the given options –
Option a – It is not binding to obey the law.
In legal terminology, binding means strictly obeying; but we are talking about nature here and no piece of matter is legally obliged to do so. So this option is not correct.
Option b – There is no superior being to enforce the law of nature.
Though some religions may argue that there is a superior being (God) enforcing the law, it is not conclusive that there is a super-power or a superior being enforcing the same. This is not the right option too.
Option c – It cannot be punished.
This seems the most accurate option of all the others, because it is impossible to punish something that is not within our limits of handling. Even if there is a scope for punishment, who has the authority to do so? Humans? Animals? We don’t know for sure. Hence not punishing is the best option.
Option d - It simply means the facts have not been correctly stated by law.
This seems like a right answer but it is not, because nobody or no form of nature has a clear list or book of law indicating how nature should function.
Thus, the correct option is C.

Note:
It is advised to use logic when it comes to questions which involve things that are beyond the control of humans.
