Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text highlights: 'Among the Igala, it is the family of the man that entertains everybody. They bring all necessary things from firewood, food items, plates, cups and spoons to the bride's family. They also bring those who cook and served the food. The girl's family would only look on and be served like other visitors and never render any assistance.'

Hint

Focus on whose family takes the primary responsibility for providing entertainment and provisions.
