Explanation

The textbook defines family laws as "those laws that deal with family related matters such as marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, etc." This definition directly matches the question. The correct option is (B). Note that the options listed in the question (A–D) differ from the original MCQ options; match the definition, not the label.
