the answer is A. murder

Folkways include all of the following except a) murder.

Explanation: "Folkways" is a term used to refer to the traditional behaviour shared by all the individuals of a cultural and social group. In otehr words, this term makes reference to the social conventions followed by a group of people in order to assure the welfare of a society. Not putting food in your mouth with a knife, shaking hands when you are introduced to someone and getting to class on time are all modes of conduct shared by a social group. Murder is not a folkway because it does not seek to guarantee the welfare of a society. In contrast, murder corrupts a society.
