A. Patriarchal family.

Explanation:

A Patriarchal family is a family in which the father is considered head of household; this is true regardless of which parent is the primary breadwinner (in a household with a working mom and stay-at-home dad, if the dad is the head of household, it is technically still a Patriarchal family). All in all, a patriarchy is a social system in which family systems or entire societies are organized around the idea of father-rule, where males are the primary authority figures.
