Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A kindred is a term used to describe a group of individuals who are related to each other by blood or marriage, and share a common ancestry or heritage. This term is more fitting than the other options as it encompasses both immediate and extended family members, as well as their descendants. A clan is a larger social group with common ancestry, while lineage refers to a series of ancestors who are directly related to each other. Family circle appears to be a vague descriptor, and explosive situation is not appropriate in this context.
