Question: How is Tanya related to the man in the photograph ?
Statements:
- Man in the photograph is the only son of Tanya's grandfather.
- The man in the photograph has no brothers or sisters and his father is Tanya's grandfather.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From I, we conclude that the man is the only son of Tanya's grandfather i.e. he is Tanya's father or Tanya is the man's daughter.
From II, we conclude that the man's father is Tanya's grandfather. Since the man has no brothers or sisters, so he is Tanya's father or Tanya is the man's daughter.

How can we conclude Tanya's gender is female?

Here the matter is not about whether Tanya's gender guys. The question is how is Tanya related to the man. So, with the given options we could conclude that the man is the father of Tanya and according to you if Tanya is not a daughter, even then it doesn't matter.
Because that may be a father-son relation or father-daughter relation. But the question is not that. The question is just how is the man related to Tanya.
So the man is the father of Tanya. That's all, stop worrying about Tanya's gender which is just a waste of time and start thinking on drawing the final answer.

The answer should be (C). Because if the man is Uncle then he can't be the "Son" of Tanya's Grandfather.

But I also think that Tanya's grandpa may be from his /her mother's father, so maybe the answer is correct.

It doesn't matter it Tanya's grandfather has a daughter or not the main concern is the man.

We don't care about gender of Tanya. Tanya is child of the man in the photograph.
