A is the brother of B. B is the sister of C. C is the father of D. E is the mother of A. How is E related to D?
E is D's grandmother, specifically the paternal grandmother. A, B and C are siblings, so E is also C's mother, and C is D's father. That makes E the mother of D's father, one generation above him.
- AGrandmotherCorrect
- BMother
- CAunt
- DGreat-grandmother
Explanation
A, B and C are siblings, so E, the mother of A, is also the mother of C. C is the father of D, so E is D's father's mother, which means paternal grandmother. Aunt would be wrong because E is a generation above C, not C's sibling.
