Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) grandchild

Explanation

E is M’s daughter-in-law, so under the conventional family relationship intended she is married to M’s son Q. P is E’s child and therefore belongs to the next generation after Q. P is consequently **M’s grandchild, B**. P’s sex is not given, so “grandson” or “granddaughter” would be more specific than the evidence permits.
