A Correct answer
Explanation

Daughter's age after 6 years = 21, so present age = 15. Anushika is 3× daughter's age = 3 × 15 = 45 years. Anushika is 8 years younger than husband, so husband = 45 + 8 = 53 years. Option B (58) would require daughter to be older, or Anushika to be older than 45. Option D (48) would make Anushika 40, which is not 3× daughter's age (15).
