Correct answer: D

Answer: Sister.

Explanation:

  • Your mother's husband = your father (assuming the usual interpretation).

  • Your father's sister = your aunt (the lady's paternal aunt).

  • The man says this same woman is his aunt, so she is also a sibling of the man's parent.

Note: This explanation follows the standard interpretation that "your mother's husband" refers to the lady's father.
