Question

Which form of descent occurs when the sons inherit the father’s property?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be option C, Patrilineal Descent.

The Patrilineal Descent occurs when the sons inherit the father's property.

Explanation:

There are two main types of descents. One is Patrilineal Descent and the other is Matrilineal Descent.

When the descent is from the male ancestor, for example from a father or grand father, then the descent is called as the Patrilineal Descent.

When the descent is from the female ancestor, for example from a mother or a grand mother, then the descent is called as the Matrilineal Descent.

In general, the property the children inherit is from the father's side. But it is not the case that a property cannot be inherited from a mother's side. Properties can be inherited from both mother's and father's side but generally it happens that the property that children inherit is a patrilineal descent.
