Final answer:
Option c, minimal domestic-public dichotomy in gender roles, does NOT describe a common characteristic of a patrilineal/patrilocal society, as these societies often have a distinct divide between men's public roles and women's domestic tasks.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking which option does NOT describe a common characteristic of a patrilineal/patrilocal society. A patrilineal/patrilocal society is one where descent and inheritance are traced through the male line, and where women typically move to live with the husband's family after marriage. Thus, the characteristic that does NOT fit is c. Minimal domestic-public dichotomy in gender roles, considering that patrilineal/patrilocal societies often have a clear divide between men and women's roles, with men more involved in public and prestigious activities while women are in domestic and subsistence tasks.
Worth noting in this context is that in a patrilineal/patrilocal society, warfare over resources (a), male dominance in high-status activities (b), women's participation in subsistence activities (d), and post-marriage residence with the husband's family (e) are common characteristics. For example, in China's patrilineal and patrilocal traditions, daughters-in-law are often seen as outsiders (Cohen 2011), and in India, patriarchal structures dominate, with men holding the authority in households (most noticeable in rural areas).
