Correct answer: A
Decode the statement step by step, working from the innermost relation outward.
Rita's statement: "He is the brother of the daughter of the wife of my husband."
Step 1: "my husband" refers to Rita's husband.
Step 2: "the wife of my husband" = the wife of Rita's husband = Rita herself.
Step 3: "the daughter of the wife of my husband" = the daughter of Rita = Rita's daughter.
Step 4: "the brother of the daughter of Rita" = the brother of Rita's daughter = Rita's son.
Therefore, the man on the stage is Rita's son. Hence, the correct answer is Son.
