What is true about an egalitarian family?

A. The father is the head of the household and has the most power.

B. The mother is the head of the household and has the most power.

C. The children hold the most power.

D. Power is distributed equally among the adult members of the family.

An egalitarian family is defined as a family arrangement in which power is shared equally by both the wife and the husband.

Hence the right answer would be:

D. Power is distributed equally among the adult members of the family.

The correct answer is Option D) Power is distributed equally among the adult members of the family.

A true egalitarian family is one in which power is distributed equally among the adult members of the family.

This is in contrast to a patriarchal 'traditional' family where the head of the household has the most power.

Throughout history, most family systems all over the world have been patriarchal where the father was the head of a family, both economically and socially and the mother would look after the children as a home maker.

Egalitarian family is a more modern concept which is considered in an ideal situation by most feminists.
