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.

You can see the statement that x said to "His" friend Y. So, here "his" determines that X is a male and that is how option B is correct.

I think son is the right answer because according to the situation, that lady must be X's mother, so here doubt is about the gender of x, but they used the word his in the starting. So x must be a male.

@All.

As per the given statement.

"She is the only daughter of the father of my mother.
“The father of my mother” refers to X’s maternal grandfather.
“The only daughter of the father of my mother” refers to X’s mother.
Therefore, the person in the photograph is X’s mother.
Determining the relationship between X and the person in the photograph:
Since X’s mother is the person in the photograph, X is the son of the person in the photograph.
In summary, X is the son of the person in the photograph.

I also got confused about the gender but by closer look it was written "said to his friend" and HIS implies that he is a male.
