Answer 1

Answer:a) ​patrilocal residence pattern

Explanation: According to social anthropology, patrilocal residence or patrilocality,refers to those families that have a culture which requires that when someone gets married they should live with the husband's parents. This also applies to the daughters of that home they must leave their family household to go and live with their in-laws . Most of these cultures believe that a daughter in law has a responsibility of taking care of her in-laws and if she lives away she can't do that. They also believe in having grandchildren growing up with their grandparents. Grandparents can then share their wisdom with their daughter in-law and their son and also with their grandchildren.
