Explanation:

I feel like the most fitting answer is D.

Explanation:

Now, I may be wrong, but I think that the correct answer is D, because the father had more rights and was usually the head of the family in Ancient Rome. Moreover, by process of elimination, we can devise that the best choice is D. For example, the children did not have equal rights to the family slaves. This is mostly because they were allowed to go to school, and had more freedoms that any slave could ever wish for. Slaves then were slightly equal, if not a little freer, than those of the 1800s. For B, that is not true because even if women did have some more rights then women of other countries, they were not equal to men. For C, The mother and father did not have to share property, however a free woman could own a property, with some restrictions. But usually, a mother in a family with a father did not share equal rights. So the last one standing is D. This is correct because the father was most always at the head of the family, running the household business (if they had one) and helping manage the slaves. The mother's job was always to take care of the children no matter what, and like mentioned earlier, they did not have equal rights as those of men. Of course, the children also did not have equal rights to the father because they were only children, but the boys did have more rights then the girls. So, overall, the correct answer to this question is D.

Hope this helps, and good luck on your test! :)
