Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: Full siblings share the same parents, so a parent stated for one sibling holds for the other too. Extending a further generation, if a person's parent has a father, that father is the person's grandfather -- making a female descendant his granddaughter.
Application:
A is the sister of B, so A and B share the same parents.
B is the daughter of C, so A is also the daughter of C.
C's father is P, making P one generation above C.
Since A is C's daughter and P is C's father, P is A's grandfather -- so A, being female, is P's granddaughter.
Cross-check:
Aunt would need A to be C's sibling instead of B's -- not the given relationship.
Niece would need A's parent to be P's sibling -- but A's parent, C, is P's own child.
Sister (to P) would need A and P to be the same generation -- P is two generations above A.
