    c. make the children born to the woman full members of her husband's descent group.

    Explanation:

    There are many ways in which a family structure is organized and one such way is patrilineality which organized the family based on the male descent line. The word has derived its meaning from the two Greek words that are 'pater' means father and 'linea' means thread. In the paternal society, children born to a couple belong to the paternal lineage but only a male offspring can carry the linage. It is an example of unilineal system of descent.
