Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's break down the relationship described by Meena:
1. "my mother's husband": This is Meena's father.
2. "my mother's husband's sister": This is Meena's father's sister. Meena's father's sister is Meena's paternal aunt.
3. "the only son of my mother's husband's sister": This is "the only son of Meena's paternal aunt".
The son of one's aunt (either paternal or maternal) is one's cousin. Specifically, the son of a paternal aunt is a first cousin (paternal cousin).
Therefore, the man is Meena's cousin. \[ \boxed{\text{Cousin}} \]
