Which statement best defines domestic in this context?

• A. The long inclusive statement
• B. Only people who are married
• C. Any two adults regardless of relationship
• D. People who live in the same city

Answer: (B)

Domestic in this context refers to a legally recognized intimate relationship tied to marriage. The term is used to identify the people whose relationship the statute treats as “domestic,” which in many cases is defined by marriage. That makes the statement about only people who are married the most precise fit for how the term is used here. The other options broaden beyond marriage—two unrelated adults, people in the same city, or an unclear broad definition—so they don’t align with the intended scope of “domestic” in this context.
