Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
T % U # V: T is U's son, and U is V's sister, so T is V's nephew.
T % U @ V makes U the father of both, so T is V's brother; T @ U # V makes T V's father.
T # U % V makes T a woman (a sister) and a child of V, so T is V's daughter.
Worth noting
A nephew is a SON of a sibling, so the expression needs a son link and a sibling link, in that order from T.
