Father or Uncle
Father

The correct answer is: D. Father

Madhav is the only son of one of Varman’s sons. This means that Varman is Madhav’s grandfather. A grandfather is a father’s or mother’s father. Therefore, Varman is Madhav’s father.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • Nephew: A nephew is the son of one’s brother or sister. Madhav is not Varman’s brother or sister’s son, so he is not Varman’s nephew.
  • Uncle: An uncle is the brother of one’s father or mother. Madhav is not Varman’s father or mother’s brother, so he is not Varman’s uncle.
  • Father or Uncle: This option is incorrect because Madhav is not Varman’s nephew or uncle. He is Varman’s son.
  • Father: This option is correct because Madhav is Varman’s son.
