Which of the following describes a family where the mother and the father share authority?
a. matrilocality
c. egalitarian
b. patriarchy
d. matriarchy

   C. Egalitarian

Explanation: Egalitarian in general means that all people have the same rights, as well as the prerequisites and opportunities. In an egalitarian family, both mother and father have the same authority, not alone over children, but also that one of the spouses has no power or authority over another spouse. If one of the spouses had power over these others, it would then be a matriarchy or patriarchy.  When it comes to authority over children, it's meant a model that parents give to children and upbringing.
