Answer:

A) extended family

Step-by-step explanation:

An extended family is a type of family setting that consists of not just the husband, wife and their children, but also includes relatives such as the parents of the couple or grandparent, and may also include the couple's siblings, all living in the same household. Extended family goes beyond the normal nuclear family setting. An extended family is larger than a nuclear family.

From the information given about Felicity in the question above, the type of family illustrated exemplifies an extended family.
