Things we are morally obligated NOT to do (e.g., lie, cheat, exploit others) can be termed:

A. correlated duties.

B. negative duties.

C. positive law.

D. positive duties.

is it D

How is "not" positive?

No, it is not D. The correct answer is B, negative duties. Negative duties refer to the actions or behaviors that we have a moral obligation not to do. Examples of negative duties include lying, cheating, and exploiting others. These are actions that we should refrain from because they go against moral principles or ethical standards. Positive duties, on the other hand, refer to actions that we are morally obligated to do, such as helping others or fulfilling our responsibilities. Correlated duties and positive law are not directly related to this concept.
