What is the family structure type that is composed of a single parent and their children?

  1. Nuclear family

  2. Polyamorous family

  3. Single-parent family

  4. Extended family

The correct answer is: Single-parent family

A single-parent family is composed of a single parent and their children, unlike the other options. A nuclear family is composed of a married couple and their children, not a single parent. A polyamorous family involves multiple adults in a romantic relationship with one another, not just a single parent. An extended family includes relatives beyond the immediate family, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, in addition to a single parent and their children. Therefore, the most accurate answer is C Single-parent family.
