Hindu law historically defined a Coparcenary as an exclusive group made up of all male descendants of a common ancestor to the fourth generation. It represents the people who are entitled to inherit the ancestor's property by birth. It's important to remember that the law has changed, and since the Hindu Succession Act was amended in 2005, daughters now have an equal say in the Coparcenary. The traditional essence or the essential elements of a Coparcenary are not accurately captured by the other possibilities.hence option a is correct.
