​A family starts with two persons, grows in its expanding stage and end again with two persons. Who said this​

Correct option is C

The statement that a family starts with two persons, grows in its expanding stage, and ends again with two persons is attributed to Gross and Crandall, who described the family life cycle in this way. They emphasized the dynamic nature of the family as it moves through various stages, from the early phase with just two people (partners), to expanding with children, and later shrinking back to two people after children leave.
