    C)  Four                   

    D)       Cannot be determined

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     There are four male members - E, D, B, F. B and F are children of D. A is grandmother of F. So, B and F represent third generation. Now, C is the daughter-in-law of E. So, A and E form a couple and represent first generation. A, being grandmother, is a female and so E is a male. C is the daughter-in-law of E and so D is E's son. Thus, CD is the other couple and represents second generation. C likes black, B likes pink, green and yellow are the preferences of a couple. So, A likes yellow and E likes green. Now, F does not like red. So, F likes white and D likes red. Now, F likes white and so cannot be a lady. B is the son of D and hence a male.
