The correct answer is C. clan exogamy.
In Arapesh culture, the saying about not eating your own pigs metaphorically emphasizes the importance of social relationships and avoiding incestuous practices within clans. By recommending against the consumption of one’s own pigs, it underscores the value of clan exogamy, which is the practice of seeking marriage partners from outside one’s own clan to maintain social alliances and genetic diversity.
