Answer:b. contract

Explanation:

Today marriage is more of a contract because everyone is looking at "what am I getting out of this marriage " and most of the time people no longer marry out of love but out of benefits that they will receive through that chosen partner. In a way that they are even pre-nups now which will define what each person will get or not get if things don't go as expected.
