Establish the relationship between Y and Z
The problem states Z is the wife of Y. This implies Y is the husband of Z.
Establish the relationship between W and Z
The problem states W is the father of Z. Since W is the parent of Y's spouse (Z), W holds the relationship of father-in-law to Y.
A: Father is incorrect because W is the father of the wife, not Y; C: Brother-in-law is incorrect as the generation gap clearly defines a parental relationship; D: Uncle is incorrect because W is the direct parent of the spouse, not the parent of a sibling.
B is correct because W is the father of Y's wife (Z), which by definition makes W the father-in-law of Y.
In blood relation questions, always identify the link between the spouse's parents and the subject to distinguish between father-in-law and other patriarchal relations.
