We don't have any connection with what the gender of Y. Since X said to his friend Y, it is clear that X is Male. "She is the only daughter of the father of my mother".

'The father of my mother' means grandfather : It implies 'only daughter of my grandfather' which means 'my-mother'.

So it is clear, since X is male and is pointing to his mother, therefore X is the son which is the answer.

Hope this clears all doubts.

The option"D" is right. The answer "MOTHER" because the word "only daughter" is there!

"X said to his friend Y" this statement is much enough to specify the gender of x. No matter from which gender y belongs to.

x has a boy friend but x is not necessary to be a boy because a girl can also have a boy friend right. So the option is D cannot be determined.
