@All.
Here, 1. Man is the only son of Tanya's Grandfather - which doesn't imply that the man is the only child of Tanya's Grandfather ( He doesn't have a son but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a daughter.
2. Man in the photograph has no brother and sister and his father is Tanya's grandfather - This concludes that Man in the photo is the only child of Tanya's Grandfather and hence he none other than Tanya's Father.
So, Option B is correct.

From 1: The man in the photograph is the only son of Tanya's grandfather.
It means he had only one son, because he said only son, (that means no daughters and no sons, rather than one son) and he said TANYA'S GRANDFATHER, which means granddaughter of his SON. IT means Tanya is the daughter of her grandfather"s son.
So, only one statement can be correct.

First of all, the son of Tanya's grandfather maybe her maternal uncle or her father.
Correct me, if I am wrong.
Correct me, if I am wrong.

But the question is "how is Tanya related to the man" and there is no statement specifying the gender of Tanya. Tanya can be his son or daughter. So, the answer should be D.
