A PTA is a voluntary organization composed of parents and teachers who join together to improve the education, health, and welfare of children. It is not a coercive organization because membership is voluntary and it does not use force or rules to achieve its goals. It is not a utilitarian organization because it is not focused on maximizing profits or benefits for its members. Therefore, the best choice for the type of organization that a PTA is would be A) a normative organization.
