Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to data from Statistics Canada, the proportion of couples who are legally married has been declining over the past few decades, while the number of common-law unions and single-parent families has been increasing.

Note: The other options provided are not accurate trends in Canadian families. Family violence is still under-reported and inequality is still an issue in Canadian society. The size of families may vary but there is no clear trend towards them getting larger.
