B Correct answer
Explanation

Bigamy specifically refers to the act of having two spouses simultaneously (either two wives or two husbands), which is illegal in most jurisdictions. It comes from the Latin words 'bi' (two) and 'gamos' (marriage). Option B correctly defines this legal term. The other options are unrelated - biblical references, fruit, or ambiguity have no connection to marriage law.
