CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A and B are siblings, so C is A's mother too.
D is A's grandfather (her mother's father).
E is D's mother, one generation above D, so E is A's great-grandmother.
A is a girl, so she is E's great-granddaughter.
Worth noting
Great-grandmother is E's relation to A, the question turned round. Count the generations: A, C, D, E is three steps up.
