Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The term "census family" is used by Statistics Canada to describe the two types of families described in the question, regardless of the marital or common-law status, sex or gender of the members. This is the most accurate and widely used term in official statistics. "Family of procreation" refers to the family formed by a couple and their children, while "conjugal family" refers specifically to a married or common-law couple without children. "Family of orientation" refers to the family in which a person grows up and is socialized.
