Pointing to a photograph, Meera says, "He is the only son of my mother's father." How is the man in the photograph related to Meera?
The man is Meera's maternal uncle. Her mother's father is her maternal grandfather, and his only son must be her mother's brother. That relationship is called maternal uncle, so he is neither her father nor a paternal relative.

- BFather
- CPaternal uncle
- DGrandfather
Explanation
Meera's mother's father is her maternal grandfather. His only son is therefore Meera's mother's brother, which makes him Meera's maternal uncle. Father would be wrong because the link goes through the mother's side, not the husband of the mother.
