C Correct answer
Explanation

(Hinata + Saske)/2 = 25 (7 years ago) Their total age 7 years ago = 50 years Hence, their total present age = 50 + 7 + 7 = 64 years Total age of their family (Hinata + Saske + Child) = 22 * 3 = 66 years Age of child = 66 – 64 = 2 years. Hence, child was born 7 – 2 = 5 years after marriage.
