I think option D is correct
Because X tells his friend Y.
So, Y is male but X's gender is not clear.

According to me, It is mentioned that "X said to his friend Y". Here, "His refers to Y not to X"!

So the answer should be option D.

His is used for Y not for X. So, I think the correct answer should be option D.

Maternal grandfather's only daughter is the mother, so X can be a son or daughter.
