- Step 2: The mother of one's father is one's paternal grandmother.
- Step 3: Therefore, A is the grandmother of C.
Answer
Grandmother.
Why not the others: Mother is one generation too low (A is the mother of C's father); Aunt assumes A is the sister of C's father; Sister confuses generational levels entirely.
