Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key insight: Identify who 'my grandfather's only child' refers to.
Step 1: 'My grandfather's only child' is Mihir's parent (either his mother or father).
Step 2: The 'only daughter' of that parent is the parent's daughter, i.e., a daughter of Mihir's parent.
Step 3: A daughter of Mihir's parent is Mihir's sister (if the daughter is a different person than Mihir). The phrase 'She is...' shows Mihir is pointing to someone else, so the girl is Mihir's sister.
Conclusion: The girl is Mihir's sister.
