Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a family-relation puzzle, resolve every clue into a parent-child, spousal, sibling, or in-law link one at a time, then combine the fixed links to answer the relationship asked. An in-law phrase such as “daughter-in-law of X” fixes X as a parent of the daughter-in-law's husband, and stating that X's spouse has died pins down X's own gender.
A and B are stated to be a married couple, with A specified as male — so A is the husband and B is the wife.
C is the brother of A, so C and A share the same parents.
D is the only son of C, and E is the sister of D, making E the daughter of C — this fixes C's children but not yet F.
B is the daughter-in-law of F, whose husband has died. Being a daughter-in-law of F makes F a parent of B's husband, i.e. of A; F's husband having died confirms F is female, so F is A's mother.
Since F is A's mother and C shares the same parents as A, F is also C's mother.
Cross-check: test each answer term's own definition against the clues — Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law both need a marriage bond at C's own generation, and Aunt needs F to be a sibling of C's parent rather than a parent; none of those patterns appear in the clues, while the parent-generation reading matches the daughter-in-law clue exactly.
Result: F is the Mother of C.
