Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under Hanafi law, a daughter takes a prescribed share as a sharer when the deceased leaves no son. If a son survives, she instead takes as a residuary with him, with the son receiving twice her portion. The absence of the deceased’s father or mother is not the condition that distinguishes these two modes of inheritance.
