Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Building Relationships:
A is mother of B. So, A is female, B is child of A.
B is husband of D. So, B is male, D is female, and they are married.
D is daughter-in-law of E. So, E is parent of D's spouse (B). Thus, E is B's parent.
Since A is B's mother, E must be B's father. So, E is husband of A.
D has no siblings.
C is son of D. So, C is child of D and B.

Step 2: Determining C's Relation to A:
A is mother of B. B is father of C.
Therefore, A is grandmother of C.
Since C is male, A is grandmother, so C is grandson of A.
