Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let's analyze the statement: 'Brothers and sisters I have none, he is my father's son's son.'
1. 'my father's son': Since the prisoner has no brothers and sisters, his father's son must be the prisoner himself.
2. 'my father's son's son': Substituting the prisoner for 'my father's son', this becomes 'the prisoner's son'.
Therefore, the boy is the prisoner's son.
Note: The textbook answer key contains a typographical error marking this as Option D (Uncle). The mathematically and logically correct choice is Option B (Son).
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
