D. Mother's brother

Decode step by step:

Expression:
E + F × G − H ÷ I

Given meanings:

• (A + B): A is daughter of B

• (A × B): A is sister of B

• (A − B): A is brother of B

• (A ÷ B): A is son of B

---

Stepwise:

1. E + F → E is daughter of F

2. F × G → F is sister of G
   ⇒ So, E is daughter of G’s sister

3. G − H → G is brother of H

4. H ÷ I → H is son of I

---

Combine:

• F is sister of G ⇒ F and G are siblings

• E is daughter of F ⇒ E is niece of G

---

Final relation:

G is the uncle of E
