Traditionally, indigenous comes from the Latin word indigena (indu/endo: in/within + gignere: to beget (to procreate or generate). But here we are simply looking at roots. The root words here are -gen (something produced, and by extension, birth) and -ous (possessing/full of), and that combination is not an option, it seems. HOWEVER, it is not uncommon for suffixes to have more than one meaning, and this is no exception. -ous also means 'having, full of, or characterized by', meaning your answer is the second option, 'the word root “gen” means “birth,” and the suffix “-ous” means “having the quality of something.”'
The right answer is the mandate to marry within one's tribe. Even though Nnaemeka knew that his decision to marry a woman from another tribe would upset his father, he thought that his annoyance would eventually pass away. But he had not realized that his was a decision without precedent, and this caused surprise, indignation, and sadness among his people, who, stuck to tradition, saw in Nnaemeka's act a reflection of their Lord's cautionary teachings ("Sons shall rise against their fathers") and a bad omen ("It is the beginning of the end"), hence illustrating their conviction in the mandate to marry within one's tribe.
