Option D is correct because they haven't mentioned Y's gender.
So, Y can be either son or daughter.

Yes, both are true, either 1 or 2 can be used, (consider both statements as separate and non relational statements) then Option C is correct.

Option c is correct because statement 1 is alone sufficient to specify relation and 2 statement is also sufficient alone. No matter they are indicating the different relations. or.
BOTH STATEMENTS ARE SUFFICIENT INDEPENDENTLY TO GIVE ANSWER TO WHAT IS ASKED.

From 1st statement only we find that X is father of y but as per 2nd statement indicates X as mother of Y. This is a contradiction. How to analyze this anomaly?
