Explanation
The clue is “only the eldest male descendant... is permitted to perform or transmit” and “carefully guarded assets.” Proprietary means privately controlled or restricted to certain owners/users, which matches perfectly.
ineffable = impossible to express in words.
immutable = unchangeable.
didactic = intended to teach.
esoteric = understood by only a small group, which is tempting, but the emphasis here is on guarded ownership/control rather than obscurity itself.
Answer: C
