See, if the girl's uncle a maternal one.
Boy is the brother of that girl.
If the girl's uncle - paternal one.
Then, in that case boy is the cousin of that girl.

@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.

@All
Please read my explanation given below carefully.
[ Remember: Cousin = The child of one's aunt or uncle. ]
Case-1:
If {the Girl's uncle = Brother of Girl's Mother}
Then the answer will be 'Brother or Cousin'.
Case-2:
If {the Girls uncle = Brother of Girl's Father}
Then the answer will be 'Cousin'.
Among the given options, there is no option for 'Cousin'.
So, we have to choose 'Brother' as the correct answer.
Tips: Use elimination method, just ignore the options that are not suitable. Then the remaining one is 'Brother'.
Note: In what situation will the answer be Brother?
If {the Girl's uncle = Brother of Girl's Mother}
Then, the Father of Girl's Uncle = Girl's Grand_Father(G_F)
In case, G_F's daughter =(might-be)= Girl's mother.
In this situation only, the boy will be Brother to that Girl. Otherwise, the answer will be cousin.
Hope this will help you a bit. Have a nice day!
