• C. Her marriage
• D. A job transfer

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A death in the family

In Shashi Deshpande’s Roots and Shadows, Indu’s decision to return to her ancestral home is indeed triggered by a death in the family.

Specifically, the death of her grandfather prompts Indu to visit her family’s home after many years. This return sets the stage for her to confront and reflect on her family’s traditions, values, and the conflicts between the old and the new generations.
