    Explanation:

    - The term ‘mores’ refers to those folkways or customs regarded by a group as highly significant and vital for group welfare.

    - William Graham Sumner (Option 1: Summer) was the sociologist who first introduced and applied the term "mores" to these crucial folkways.

    - Ralph Linton was an American anthropologist known for his works on culture and social structure, but not for coining "mores."

    - Davis and Robert Bierstedt have contributed to sociology, yet they are not credited with applying the term "mores."

    - Mores are considered essential practices, while regular folkways are everyday customs with less importance.
