Solution

The correct option is B nephew
Answer : B

Explanation:

The sentence thus talks about the relation between the speaker and the speaker's sister's son.

Thus for the speaker, it is his "nephew".

Nephew means a son of one's brother or sister, or of the brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

The other options are incorrect because:

Uncle means a brother of one's mother or father. Thus in this question, for the nephew, the speaker is his uncle.

Niece means daughter of one's brother or sister or one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

Bride is the word for woman on her wedding day.

Therefore the correct complete sentence is;

He's my sister's son. So, he's my nephew.
