Statements:

From I, it can be so that the man in the photography can be Tanya's Uncle (if the grandfather is from maternal side). Hence it cannot be said for sure it is her Father or Uncle.
From II, it is evident that the man does not have brothers or sisters. Hence if he is the ONLY child of Tanya's grandfather, he has to be Tanya's father.
Therefore, answer is B.
From II, it is evident that the man does not have brothers or sisters. Hence if he is the ONLY child of Tanya's grandfather, he has to be Tanya's father.

But it is said man is only son of tanya's grand father meaning he is the father of tanya how can he be uncle or any ?

Only son doesn't imply that grandfather doesn't have a daughter. Tanya has two grandfathers (one from mothers side and one from her fathers side). You can think now.

Here gender of tanya is not given and only on the basis of female name we can't say tanya is female.

From statement 1 the man can be Tanya's father or uncle but from statement 2 he is only father of Tanya. SO ACCORDING TO ME ANSWER CAN BE OPTION C EITHER ONE OR TWO IS SUFFICIENT.

Agree with @Shubham.
He is anyways a related person to Tanya irrespective of uncle or father. He is in her family.
