Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's decode the relations step by step:
1. A and B are a married couple. Since A is the father of E, A is Male () and B is Female ().
2. C is the brother of A, so C is Male ().
3. D is the only son of C, so D is Male ().
4. E is the granddaughter of F, and A is the father of E. This means E is Female ().
5. F's husband has died, which means F is a widowed Female (). F is the mother of A and C.
6. Let's count the genders:
* Males (): A, C, D (Total = 3)
* Females (): B, E, F (Total = 3)

Therefore, there are exactly 3 male members in the family.
