Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term for a group of people directly linked by kin connections, the adult members of which assume responsibility for caring for children, is a family. This is the most accurate description of a group that assumes responsibility for caring for children. Choice A, affective primary group, does not necessarily imply a kin connection or responsibility for children. Choice C, monogamy, refers to a type of marriage relationship, not a group of people caring for children. Choice D, community, is too broad of a term and does not necessarily imply a kin connection or responsibility for children.
