About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Introducing a man, a woman said, "His wife is the only daughter of my mother." How is the woman related to the man?”
The accepted answer is C. Wife. “Introducing a man, a woman said, "His wife is the only daughter of my mother." How is the woman related to the man” is answered by Wife (option C). Option A (“Sister”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Wife.
