The correct option is A Any girl of class B marries his mother's brother.
A girl of class B will have mother born in class B and so the mother's brother will also belong to class B. Since people of any class cannot marry the members of their own class, so the condition in (a) is not permissible.
A girl of class B will have mother born in class B and so the mother's brother will also belong to class B. Since people of any class cannot marry the members of their own class, so the condition in (a) is not permissible.
