The answer is Cousin.

X is the brother of Y’s grandson. This means that X and Y share a common ancestor, Y’s son. However, they are not siblings, as they have different mothers. Therefore, X is Y’s cousin.

Here is a diagram to illustrate the relationship:

Y is the father of the son, who is the father of the grandson. X is the brother of the grandson. Therefore, X is Y’s cousin.

  • Option C is incorrect because X is not Y’s grandson. He is the brother of Y’s grandson.
  • Option D is incorrect because X is not Y’s son. He is the brother of Y’s grandson.
