Nadezda is very proud of her Russian lineage.

Which of the options is a synonym for the word lineage?

A. culture

B. offspring

C. heir

D. origin

I believe it would be origin. Culture has nothing to do with bloodlines. Offspring is passing forward, not coming form backwards. Heir is inheriting something and origin is where you can trace your background to. When reading this, I think origin makes more sense, but heir could still be an answer.
