Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
P is S's father-in-law, so S is married to P's child. P's only child is the son, so P is the grandfather and S is the son's wife.
U is married to S, so U is the son.
T is a grandmother (of Q), so T is the elderly woman, the son's mother.
The mother of S's husband is S's mother-in-law.
Worth noting
Grandmother is T's relation to Q and R. S married into the family, so to S she is a mother-in-law.
