Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The question requires matching different sociological terms related to family structures with their correct definitions. The key is to understand the distinctions between rules of residence, authority, inheritance, and family composition.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
(A) Matrilocal Family: The term 'local' refers to residence. In a matrilocal system, the married couple resides with or near the wife's family. Thus, it is based on the rule of residence. (A) matches with (II).
(B) Patriarchal Family: The term 'archal' refers to authority or rule. In a patriarchal family, authority and dominance are held by the males, typically the eldest male. Thus, it defines men exercise authority and dominance. (B) matches with (III).
(C) Patrilineal Family: The term 'lineal' refers to descent or inheritance. In a patrilineal system, descent, inheritance, and kinship are traced through the male line. Thus, it pertains to the rule of inheritance. (C) matches with (IV).
(D) Nuclear Family: This term refers to the composition of the family unit. A nuclear family is the smallest family unit, typically comprising a set of parents and their unmarried children. Thus, it consists of one set of parents and their children. (D) matches with (I).
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matching is: (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I).
