F is the granddaughter of E.

Choose the correct answer:
- A.
CD
- B.
DE
(Correct Answer) - C.
EB
- D.
Cannot be determined
DE
Explanation
-
"C is wife of B and mother F": This gives us our first married couple. (B+ & C-) are the parents of F.
-
"D is grandfather of A and mother B": There is a small typo in the original text (it should likely read "and father of B" or "and mother is B"). However, logically, if D is the grandfather of A, and B is the parent of the youngest generation, D belongs to the first generation.
-
"F is the granddaughter of E": Since F is the daughter of B and C, and D is the grandfather, E must be the grandmother to complete the second married couple.
-
The Couples:
-
Couple 1: D and E (Grandparents)
-
Couple 2: B and C (Parents)
-
Final Family Structure:
-
Generation 1: D⟷E (Married Couple)
-
Generation 2: B⟷C (Married Couple)
-
Generation 3: A,F (Siblings/Children of B and C)
Looking at the options, DE represents the grandparents who are one of the two married couples in the family.
