Break the equation into pairs from left to right: (S+T), (T-U), (U*V), (V-W), (W+X). Decode each relationship sequentially to build a family tree.

Analyze the expression
Expression: 'S + T - U x V - W + X'. We break it down: 1) S + T (S is sister of T), 2) T - U (T is husband of U), 3) U x V (U is mother of V), 4) V - W (V is husband of W), 5) W + X (W is sister of X).
Build the hierarchy
Since T is the husband of U, and U is the mother of V, then T is the father of V. Therefore, V is the son of T.
A: Father is incorrect because V is the son of T. B: Brother is incorrect as V is the son, not brother, of T. D: Son's son is incorrect as T is the direct father of V.
C is correct because according to the relation 'T - U' (T is husband of U) and 'U x V' (U is mother of V), T is the father of V, which makes V the son of T.
