What is Virginia Jackson's relation to Tom Jackson?

• A. Granddaughter
• B. Daughter
• C. Sister
• D. Niece

Answer: (A)

Virginia Jackson is Tom Jackson’s granddaughter. This means she is the child of Tom’s own child, placing her one generation below Tom. In kinship terms, granddaughter describes a grandparent–grandchild link. The other relations would require Virginia to be in a different generation or line (for example, a daughter would make her Tom’s child, a sister would put her at the same generation as Tom, and a niece would make her the child of Tom’s sibling), which isn’t indicated here.
