The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the relationships given in the statements and determine which conclusion can be drawn definitively. ### Step 1: Analyze the statements 1. **M is the brother of N**: This tells us that M is male (brother) and N can be either male or female. 2. **B is the brother of N**: This tells us that B is also male (brother) and reinforces that N can be either male or female. 3. **M is the brother of D**: This tells us that M is male, and we do not know the gender of D. ### Step 2: Establish relationships - From the first statement, we know: - M (male) - N (unknown gender) - From the second statement, we know: - B (male) - N (unknown gender) - From the third statement, we know: - M (male) - D (unknown gender) ### Step 3: Determine the relationships - Since M and B are both brothers of N, they are brothers to each other: - M (brother) - B (brother) - The gender of N is still unknown, so we cannot conclude anything about N's relationship with D or B definitively. ### Step 4: Evaluate the options 1. **N is the brother of B**: This cannot be concluded because N's gender is unknown. 2. **N is the brother of D**: This cannot be concluded because N's gender is unknown. 3. **M is the brother of B**: This is definitely true because both M and B are stated to be brothers. 4. **D is the brother of M**: This cannot be concluded because we do not know D's gender. ### Conclusion The only statement that is definitely true is: - **M is the brother of B**. Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
