Which of the following pairs are properly contrasted?

1. Primogeniture : Ultimogeniture

2. Exogamy : Endogamy

3. Family of orientation : Family of procreation

4. Residually joint family : Potentially joint family

Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

1, 2 and 3

1, 3 and 4

2, 3 and 4

1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation:

- Primogeniture vs. Ultimogeniture: Proper contrast; primogeniture means inheritance by eldest, ultimogeniture by youngest.

- Exogamy vs. Endogamy: Proper contrast; exogamy is marrying outside one's group, endogamy is marrying within.

- Family of orientation vs. Family of procreation: Proper contrast; orientation is the family you are born into, procreation is the family you form through marriage.

- Residually joint family vs. Potentially joint family: These are not opposites; both relate to types of joint families in structure, not direct contrasts.

So, option 1 (1, 2, and 3) is correct.

Option: 1, 1, 2 and 3 (Statements 1, 2, and 3 are properly contrasted)
