I has not been mentioned that the grandfather is maternal or paternal, So I think the answer should be --> (D) Neither I nor II is sufficient.

Here, the gender of Tanya is not mentioned so can we assume that Tanya is a daughter & the question had asked about how Tanya is related?
So the answer should be neither I or II.
So the answer should be neither I or II.

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.
