Answer: A. Repetition

Explanation: The word family is intentionally repeated in each instance where it could have been omitted. This sound device adds to the sense of "annoying, noisy, lengthy argument" that was already started with the pseudo-repetition "a fight and a snag and a wrangle" (i.e., three words to refer to the same thing).
