Solution

The correct option is C daughters
The Hindu Succession Act originally only allowed for sons to inherit their father’s property. Wives and daughters were excluded and this was looked at as being unfair. The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act was enacted in 2005, thus making the necessary changes in the law.
