Answer 1

Answer: (E)

To determine how C is related to A, we need to analyze the given familial relationships one by one:

1. A is the mother of B.
2. B is the husband of D, which makes D the daughter-in-law of A.
3. D is the daughter-in-law of E and has no siblings.
4. F is the brother of one of the parents of C. Since C is the son of D, F is either the brother of D or B. Given that D has no siblings, F must be the brother of B.
5. C is the son of D.

From these statements, we can deduce:

• A is the grandmother of C because A is B's mother and C is B's son (D's son).
• Thus, C is the grandson of A.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Grandson
