Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under Section 3(f) of the Hindu Marriage Act, sapinda relationship extends up to the fifth generation in the line of ascent through the father and the third generation through the mother; the "Maternal grandfather's brother's daughter" is related only through a common ancestor beyond the third generation on the mother's side, so she is not a sapinda.
