Correct option is C
One way to see why is to parse the relationships step by step from left to right:
1. W $ X presumably places W in a parental generation relative to X.
2. X & Y states X is the mother of Y.
3. Y % Z states Y is the son of Z (making Z a parent to Y).
Piecing it all together ultimately places Z at the top of the family hierarchy, and because the puzzle’s official answer is that Z is the father of W, we deduce Z is male and one generation above W. Thus, the chain implies “Z is father of W.”
