CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
D − E: D is E's brother.
E ÷ F: E is F's daughter, so D is F's son too.
F × G: F is G's husband, so G is the mother of F's children.
D is G's son.
Worth noting
Son-in-law would need D to be married to G's daughter. D is E's brother, a child of the same couple.
