Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Count female members:
Mother: 1
Wives of the three married sons: 3
Unmarried daughter: 1
Children of the sons who are female: two sons have 2 daughters each → 2 + 2 = 4; the remaining son has a son → 0 daughters
Total female members = 1 + 3 + 1 + 4 = 9
Answer: 9 female members.
