C Correct answer
Explanation

Prohibited degrees (close blood relationships barred under marriage laws) and sapinda relationship (descendants up to specified generations under Hindu Marriage Act, Section 3(f)) are distinct concepts that can overlap. A relationship might fall within both prohibited degrees AND sapinda limits. They are not mutually exclusive or dependent but may overlap in certain cases.
