In tribal societies, trust is placed with family members as opposed to those outside the family. This extends to marriage, where the most desirable marriages are with relatives. In one society on the northwest coast of British Columbia, the most desirable marriage is between a boy and his mother's brother's daughter, which makes his mother's brother (maternal uncle) his father-in-law. This type of mating is called:
A. assortative mating
B. consanguineous mating
C. incest
