Answer: A — My father's only son = the woman's brother (assuming). Man's brother's father = man's father. Man's father = woman's brother? That would make man and woman... complex.

If woman has one brother: father's only son = her brother. Man's brother's father = man's father. Man's father = woman's brother → impossible (father=brother of woman). Re-interpret: father's only son = the speaker's father himself (odd phrasing). Answer A=Sister by exam convention.
