The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C) and (D) only
The clues are placed one by one on a family tree, starting from the couple A and F:
A is the mother of C, and C is not her daughter, so C is A’s son; E is C’s son
F is the spouse of A, a woman, so F is A’s husband and the father of C
B is the sister of C, so B is the daughter of A and F; D is B’s daughter
G is the spouse of B, so G is B’s husband, and H, G’s mother, is B’s mother-in-law
