Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Wife (the speaker is Pramod's mother)
Reasoning:
The lady in the photograph has a son who is Pramod's maternal uncle, so that son is a brother of Pramod's mother.
The speaker says she is the only daughter of that same lady, so she is also a child of that lady and thus the sister of the maternal uncle.
Therefore the speaker must be Pramod's mother; equivalently, she is the wife of Pramod's father.
Final conclusion: The speaker is Pramod's mother (the father's wife).
