In ancient Ghana, the next king would be the son of the current king’s sister. Which of the following words describes this system?
a. Animist
b. Bidal
c. Matrilineal
d. Patrilineal
The answer to your question would be C - matrilineal. Systems where you have a son who would be king if he was the son of the current king's sister would be considered as such. This is because only the mother's line was relevant, not the fathers.
