CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
J + K: J is K's mother.
K − L: K is L's brother, so J is L's mother as well.
L × M: L is M's husband.
J is the mother of M's husband, that is, M's mother-in-law.
Worth noting
Mother would need M to be J's own child. M has married into the family.
