Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let us analyze the given information: - From condition I: Deepa’s mother is the sister of Laxmi’s father. This means Deepa’s mother and Laxmi’s father are siblings. Therefore, Deepa’s mother is Laxmi’s aunt. - From condition II: Deepa is the daughter of Laxmi’s grandfather’s only son. This means Deepa’s father is Laxmi’s uncle. So, Deepa is the niece of Laxmi. Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{1} \).
