B Correct answer
Explanation

Let son's age be x. Father's present age is x + 30. After 5 years: (x + 30) + 5 = 3(x + 5), so x + 35 = 3x + 15, giving x = 10. Father's present age = 10 + 30 = 40. Option A (30) would make father equal to son's age plus 30, not thrice after 5 years. C and D don't satisfy the condition.
