Answer: Option E

From the given information is known that F is the grandfather, of B and H is the wife of F.
C is the daughter of H and F, and G is the son of the H and F.
D is the daughter of E and G, B is the son of C and A
The final relationship is as follows.

From the given information and the relations obtained above we know that B and F, C and D, E and H are sitting in a position opposite to each other.Hence A and G are sitting in a position opposite to each other.
It is given that B is in a position opposite F and F is adjacent to his daughter 'C' and H is to the right of F. D is sitting between G and B. From the above information we have two possible cases.
Case(i): F is facing the centerCase(ii): F is facing away from the center
In case (i) we have F and H, G and E are facing the center, as couples are facing the same direction. The other four are facing away from the center, as it is given that four are facing the center and also it is satisfying the condition G and D are facing different directions.Case(i) is possible
In Case(ii) we have F and H are facing away from the center, G and E are facing the center. We can say that D is facing away from the center. As G and D are facing different directions, B is also facing away from the center.
The remaining two persons A and C are facing the center, as it is given that four are facing the center.
The possible final arrangement are as follows.

In case(i) A is facing away from the center and in case(ii) A is facing the center.
