C Correct answer
Explanation

If the father is 40 and he is twice as old as his son, then the son's age is 40 / 2 = 20.

AI explanation

Since the father is twice as old as his son, the son's age is half of the father's age. The father is 40 years old, so the son's age is 40 divided by 2. This calculation gives the son's age as 20.
