The correct answer is C. they can have less conflict after a divorce than before one.
A is certainly incorrect - nuclear families are those families with two parents, kids, and sometimes even other family members, such as grandparents. These are families that stick together, and there is no stigma about them - however, there is about single-parent families. B is also incorrect - obviously two parents can earn more than just one. This means that D is also incorrect, leaving us with C.
I would choose letter C because plots are used in writing a story, but nonfiction papers are more informational and focus on a specific topic. They do not go through events like stories do.
