Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This really is a matter of opinion. I would pick housewife, husbands and children, but I suppose other answers could be defended.

You might be able to choose the last one except for floor. waxing kitchen is also needed to modify floor.

Also possible is suburban housewife, kissing their husbands goodbye in front of the picture window, works well when all of it is quoted. But when you strip it down to its nouns and verbs, it's not so clear, especially the kissing part.
