C Correct answer
Explanation

Cousin is the only word that doesn't specify a gender or a direct familial relationship level. The other words (father, aunt, sister, mother, uncle) all specify a specific gendered relationship - either parent, sibling, or parent's sibling. Cousin is a more general term that doesn't indicate generation or gender.
