Attempted by 2 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: In blood-relation puzzles, every named relation places a person at a specific generation level relative to the reference person, and siblings (brother/sister) always occupy the SAME generation, sharing the same two parents.
A and B are a married couple with A male, so A is the husband and B is the wife.
C is the brother of A, and D is stated to be the only son of C, so D is C's child.
E is the sister of D. Since siblings share the same parents and generation, E is also C's child, in the same generation as D.
E is explicitly female (sister), so E is C's daughter.
Cross-check: A sister relationship would place E in C's own generation; an aunt (father's sister) or a mother would place E one generation above C. The passage instead places E in D's generation, one level below C, ruling out all three. That leaves daughter as the only relationship consistent with the stated facts.
