How is A related to B?
They are siblings (given in the questions, before the statements).
Hence neither of the statements are required.
They never mentioned A's or B's gender.

I think the answer should be E and not C as both the statements are required to ascertain the relationship between A and B.

I think the answer should be A because here you get the relation between A and B and E is unwanted here so E is not needed.
