Answer 1

a) French marriage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution establishes that individual states must recognize public acts, rulings, etc., of other states, e.g. if I marry in California, my marriage should be recognized in all the US. This clause applies at state level, it doesn't include acts from foreign countries.
