Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Option A defines extended family as a group of relatives that form a family unit, which can include parents, children, and other relatives. This definition implies that the extended family may not necessarily live together in the same residence and can be made up of different generations and family relationships. Option B restricts the definition to only include relatives who live together, while option C focuses on the family's bloodline, and option D only refers to the grandparents, parents, and children.
