Brother
Sister
Nephew
Cannot be determined

If D is Male, the answer is Nephew.

If D is Female, the answer is Niece.

As the sex of D is not known, hence, the relation between D and A cannot be determined.

The right answer is d (can't be determined) because we don't know A is male or female.

(C) is partially correct not fully because you do not know D is MALE or FEMALE(it may be nephew or niece).

So you should go for option (D).

A+..........B-............C+ (brother and sister) ......D+/- (son or daughter).

So, it sex of D can't be determined.

@Lakhveer Singh.
Here A, B &C are siblings.
And in problem, clearly given that C is the father of D. &D is either male or female which is not confirm.
So we can not determine its gender.
Therefore option[D] is the right answer.

I think A and D are brothers.

Hi, everyone option D is the right answer. Because D is son or daughter of C then it is a nephew or nice of A.

A, C = Male,
B = Female,
C = Father of D.

It means that A, B, C are brother & sister with one another and D is their cousin. Hence A will be the uncle of D.

Nephew is more appropriate than the option can't be determined, right?

Because the answer is either nephew or niece. Instead of roughly saying can't b determined. We can select one of the possible answers that is nephew right?

Here the question is how D is related to A.

According to A, brother's son (or) daughter will be a nephew (or) niece.

If they ask how A is related to D then,

According to D, father's brother (or) sister will be an uncle (or) aunt.

So,the answer is D because they didn't mention the gender of D in question.
