Show answer & explanation
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.
Therefore the man's parent and the lady's father are the same person, which means the man and the lady share a parent and are siblings.
Note: This explanation follows the standard interpretation that "your mother's husband" refers to the lady's father.
