@All.
Let's break down the statement to understand the relationships mentioned:
"He" - a boy
"The daughter of the father of my uncle" - a cousin of the girl's father (i.e., the girl's cousin).
"He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle" - the boy is the son of the girl's cousin.
Therefore, the boy is the cousin once removed of the girl. In other words, the boy is the girl's cousin's child.

Through final conclusion, you will get to know that,
The son can be either cousin or brother of the girl, as a cousin is not in the given option it will be the brother of the girl.
Also, the relation between the girl and uncle, specifies that she is not the daughter of the uncle hence boy can't be a cousin of the girl.

The father of the girl's uncle is the grandfather of the girl and the daughter of the grandfather is the sister of her father.
So, the daughter of the grandfather is her aunt.
Then. Aunt's son is brother of the girl.

Here, you can understand it properly.
In this type of question (son of the daughter of the father of my uncle) reverse the chain
i.e. solve it this way.
Father of uncle.
Daughter of the father of uncle.
Son of the daughter of the father of uncle.
So
1) Father of an uncle (dad)
2) Daughter of the father of uncle.
3) Son of the Mom.
(Son of the mummy is brother).
Hope you understand.
