The only daughter of the father of X's mother' means the mother of X.
Hence, X is the child of the lady in the photograph.
But we do not know about the gender of X. He could be the son or the daughter.

So, option D.

Exactly @Ram; this is what I was trying to say.

In this question "his friends" shows that gender of the friend is male.

The gender of X cannot be determined.

X is his/her friend. So his/her defines gender of friend not of X.

I will give you examples;
1. Ram said to his friend Vishal don't be late for the game.
2. Ram said to her friend Sanjana, don't be late for the game.
Here x=Ram and there is no way to know the gender of X. So option D is correct.

I think option D is the right answer, because.

Pointing a photograph X said to his friend Y, -------> 'his' indicates X is a male.

But "She is the only daughter of the father of my mother. " -----> 'She' indicates the person who is getting pointed is a female.

So this complete statesments shows both the genders of X, so the answer is D.
