Solution

The correct answer is "your mother's brother's children or your father's sister's children; preferred marriage partners".

Cross cousins are defined as the children of your mother's brother or your father's sister. In many cultures, including the Yanomami of South America, cross cousins are considered suitable or preferred marriage partners. This is because marrying a cross cousin can strengthen alliances between different branches of a family.
