  1. A

  2. B
    Father’s father
  3. C
    Mother’s father
  4. D
    Brother

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's decode the expression step by step from left to right to build a family tree:
1. A is the father of B. ( is Male )
2. B is the brother of C. ( is Male ; B and C are siblings)
3. C is the mother of D. ( is Female )
4. D is the brother of E. ( is Male ; D and E are siblings)
5. E is the wife of F. ( is Female ; is Male )

From the above breakdown:

* D and E are siblings, and C is their mother.
* B and C are siblings, and A is their father.

Since C is the mother of E, and A is the father of C, A is the mother's father (maternal grandfather) of E.
