@Srikanth.
The answer should be D.
Because, the question is how A related to D?
But not how D is related to A?
We know that D is the father of A, but we don't the gender of A. So, we can't conclude anything over here.
The answer should be D.

@Shaily,
He/she can be her child or Offspring, or D can be his/her mother or father.
He/she can be her child or Offspring, or D can be his/her mother or father.

The relationship the question seeks to establish is not the gender as the 'D' as the answer seem to project.
The answer should be 'E'.
The answer should be 'E'.

In the question, it is written that how A is related to D, So we don't have to mention that it is son or daughter. SO from my point of view, I think that E option should be best for this because if we go through reality the concept is clear that if B is brother of A and D is father of B so it doesn't matter that A is daughter or son, Matter is D is father of A.

Yeah! same logic from my side also. A is the child of D.

Agreed with @Shaily. Question was to find out relation between A & D, not to find out son or daughter.
Shaily said:

A is child of D.
So why not the answer be E.
So why not the answer be E.
