Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Mother-in-law
The clues are placed on a family tree one by one:
D is the mother of E, and E is the sister of F, so D is the mother of both E and F.
F is the son of C, and F’s mother is D, so C is F’s father and D’s husband.
A is the father of C and B is A’s wife, so B is C’s mother.
B is the mother of D’s husband, so B is D’s mother-in-law.
