Explanation:

Let’s break this down option by option:

- Toda: This group, from the Nilgiris, is famous for their buffalo herding and fraternal polyandry, not marriage by capture or systematic infanticide due to raid fears.

- Kharia: The Kharia are an adivasi tribe, but there’s no major anthropological record tying them to the “marriage by capture” tradition sparked by female infanticide.

- Khasi: The Khasi are matrilineal, mostly from Meghalaya. Women hold a central position in the family, and marriage by capture isn’t their tradition.

- Gond: Here’s the right answer. The Gond, one of India’s largest tribes, have well-documented cases where fears of female infanticide (due to risks from raids or imbalance) reportedly led them to prefer boys. Because of fewer women, marriage by capture (essentially “raiding” for brides) became a customary practice—well noted in anthropological accounts.

So, the correct answer is Option 4: Gond.

The other groups have distinct marriage and kinship systems but aren’t tied to this particular mix of practices.
