mothers.

fathers.

aunts.

uncles.

Explanation:

In a matrilineal society, the key concept is that ancestry and kinship are traced through the female line, specifically through mothers. "Matrilineal" comes from "mater" (Latin for mother), so the lineage follows the mother's side. Fathers are associated with patrilineal societies, while aunts and uncles are not the primary line for tracing ancestry in this context.

A. mothers.
