Answer:

1-C

2-A

3-B

4-D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognatic kinship is the calculus of descent from any combination of female or male links, considering this there are different types of cognatic kinship depending on affiliation:

  • Ambilineal: ambi - prefix means both, this affiliation can be linked to either the father's or the mother's group.
  • Matrilineal: when the line of descent comes from a female ancestor
  • Patrilineal: when the line of descent comes from a male ancestor
  • Unilineal: when the affiliation comes from just one side, male or female. Matrilineal and patrilineal are both unilineal.

I hope you find this infromation useful and interesting! Good luck!
