Answer
A
Families shared longhouses but also lived separately in wigwams.
B
Families shared wigwams but also lived separately in longhouses.
C
Families shared thatched houses but also lived separately in longhouses.
D
Families shared wigwams but also lived separately in thatched houses.

Explanation

Many Northeastern Indigenous peoples, especially the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), lived in longhouses shared by several families. Wigwams were smaller dwellings used by individual families in some Northeast communities, so the statement about shared longhouses and separate wigwams is the best description.
