B Correct answer
Explanation

'Eldest' rectifies the error of 'oldest'. The adjective 'oldest' is used to compare the age of the person or things in general. But to compare the age of the members of the same family, the adjective 'eldest' is used. Here, 'eldest' is used before 'grand father', the member of my family.
