C is A's brother.
D is the son of A's brother.
So, D is A nephew.

Here, the answer is the father.
Because a,b,c are siblings and d is the father of c.
Then d is the father of A.

A, B, and C are brother and sister. Then C is the father of D.

Father's (C) brother (A) and sister (B) means paternal uncle.

The relationship between A and D is paternal uncle.

A is brother of B.
B is sis of C.
C is father of D.
D=A?

So, as A is the brother of B where B is sis of C and C is the father of D so, A is male or you can say A is the brother of C so, A is the paternal uncle of D where D is the son of C.

So, the paternal uncle is not given is an option so the answer would be (D) = cannot be determined.

Here.

A is the brother of B and B is the sister of C and C is the father of D hence A is male and the gender of D is not determined here the question is how D is related to A it means A is the uncle of D.

So, the answer is Uncle, not nephew or niece.

If they ask how A related to D then the answer will be Nephew or niece.

Correct me, If I am wrong.

Here A is brother which means a boy,
And B is sister which means a girl,
And C is the father of D, here c is also a boy,
They didn't give any gender for D,
ABC are brothers and sisters,
As we don't know the gender of D we can't determine the relation between D and A.
