Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
C is A's father, and A and B are siblings, so C is B's father too.
E is B's daughter and D is E's brother, so D is B's son.
D is the son of C's child, so D is C's grandson.
Worth noting
B's gender is never stated, but it does not matter: whether B is C's son or daughter, B's son is C's grandson. Choose 'Cannot be determined' only when the ANSWER changes with the missing fact.
