Correct Answer
C The entire community contributes food and labor equally.
D No feasting or elaborate entertainment takes place; it's a simple ceremony.
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

Consider who takes on the primary role of host and provider during the feast.
