Solution

The correct option is B Matrilineal
After the end of the centralized rule of the Perumals, the Nadus were free and the positions of power that developed in the Nadus were known as Naduvazhi Swaroopams. The Swaroopams were the ruling families with the right of self-rule and they followed matrilineal system of inheritance called Marumakkathayam.
