Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Right of the parties to live together
Conjugal rights are the rights of spouses to each other's society, i.e. the right of the parties to live together (cohabitation/consortium); restitution of conjugal rights lets a deserted spouse seek a decree that the other return.
