Solution(By Examveda Team)

The system where a person is required to marry the sister of his deceased wife is known as sororate, not levirate.

Levirate refers to the custom where a man is required to marry the widow of his deceased brother.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: None of these, as none of the provided options correctly define the system where a person marries the sister of his deceased wife.
