Explanation: Family extension occurs when a new member (such as a child) is added to the family. In this case, Mr. X and Mrs. Y had their first child in 2002 , which extended their family. Explanation of other options: Formation in 2002 (Option A): Incorrect, because the family was formed when Mr. X and Mrs. Y got married (before 2002) . Regression in 2020 (Option B): Regression occurs when family members leave or die, which is not the case here. Dissolution in 2020(Option D): Dissolution happens when a family breaks apart (e.g., through divorce or death), but here, the family remained intact. Key Takeaways: Extension of a family occurs when new members, such as children or dependent relatives, are added. The birth of the first child in 2002 marks the extension of the nuclear family. Family formation relates to marriage; regression and dissolution involve loss or breakdown.
