"He is the son of the ONLY SON of my grandfather" does not means that that grandfather is not having any daughters, it means that there is only one son but did not mention information about daughters of grandfather so there may be a chance of having daughters also to the Grand Father.
If Lata is the children of grand father's daughter then the relation will become "option C: Cousin".
So, I suppose the answer is option D.

Answer should be D. insufficient data i.e. he could be Lata's brother or cousin.

Here it is not mentioned that Lata grandfather has only one son, that's why answer is cousin or data insufficient.

Possibly Lata may be talking about herself. It is the reasoning.
The name can't decide the gender. Where it is written Lata is a girl!

The question mentioned here is Lata's grandfather. The grandfather can be Lata's Maternal Grandfather or Paternal Grandfather. If the grandfather is paternal grandfather, then the man in the photo is a brother to Lata. If the grandfather is a maternal grandfather, then the boy is a cousin to Lata.

Here they have mentioned the only son but that doesn't mean Lata's grandfather cannot be having a daughter and one son.
Here there are two possibilities one is;
She may be the daughter of that only son of her grandfather or Her grandfather could have had one son and another daughter.

Yes, we cannot determine, because there it is not mentioned that Latha is the grandfather's daughters daughter or son's daughter.
