The passage of property and assets to the firstborn child is called:
  1. Firstborn acquisition
  2. Inheritance
  3. Primogeniture
  4. Primary inheritance
Explanation
Answer: C - Primogeniture is the customary practice of the rights to money and assets passing from parent to firstborn child. Typically, primogeniture favors sons, and daughters are excluded from the line of inheritance. The custom became formalized in feudal England and is still practiced throughout the world, though it continues to fall increasingly out of favor.
