Answer 1

Answer: B) when men fulfil provided role and women fulfill the caregiver role in the family

According to the declining family perspective, the changes that have come up in the society have led to women working out from their house in order to meet the family economic requirements. Becoming less dependent on the husbands to be providing for the house and with an increasing expectation of the men contributing to the household work, leading to disbalance in the family structure.
