D Correct answer
Explanation

The age difference between Preeti's mother and grandfather can be calculated by finding the difference in their ages. Without seeing the family tree image, this appears to be a 2-generation gap (grandfather to mother to Preeti). A difference of 39 years between grandfather and mother is reasonable - if the grandfather had the mother at age ~40, this would be a plausible age gap.
