Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In Khasi society, property is passed from mother to daughter (A). The transfer of control of property from maternal uncle to nephew (B) is also a custom practiced among the Khasi people. However, making out a will (C) is not a traditional practice, and the custom of a brother controlling his sister’s property (D) is not typical in Khasi society.
