Correct answer: D. Let's deduce the family tree:
1.  B is the son of C, but C is not the mother of B. This means C is the father of B (C = male).
2.  A and C are a married couple. Since C is male, A must be female (A = female).
3.  E is the brother of C. So, E = male.
4.  D is the daughter of A. So, D = female.
5.  F is the brother of B. So, F = male.

Family members and their genders:
A: Female
B: Male
C: Male
D: Female
E: Male
F: Male

Children of A and C: B (son), D (daughter), F (son). So, A has 3 children.

Now let's evaluate the statements:
(A) There are only three male members in the family. (Males: B, C, E, F = 4 males). This statement is False.
(B) A has only three children. (Children: B, D, F = 3 children). This statement is True.
(C) A and D are both females. (A = female, D = female). This statement is True.
(D) D is a female but A is not a female. (D = female, A = female). This statement is False.

So, (A) and (D) are incorrect, but (B) and (C) are correct. This matches option 4.
