The question focuses on the historical relationship expressed in “The smallest unit of Rigvedic society was —”. Its value lies in connecting The family (kula) with the relevant chronology, institution, patronage, text, region or administrative function.
The family or kula was the smallest social unit. Several families formed a grama, several gramas were associated with a vish, and a number of vish units constituted the jana. The family (kula) fits that evidence because it matches the specific chronology, agency and function contained in the question. A comparison with the alternatives is useful: The jana, The village (grama) and The vish are genuine historical terms or names, but each belongs to a different office, patron, text, region or sequence. The compact memory link is therefore The family (kula) together with the factual context above, not the isolated option letter.
