Explanation:

Each French phrase describes a family relationship, matched to the correct term:

1. "le frère de ma cousine" (my cousin's brother) is also a cousin.
2. "le père de mon cousin" (my cousin's father) is an uncle.
3. "le mari de ma grand-mère" (my grandmother's husband) is a grandfather.
4. "le fils de mon frère" (my brother's son) is a nephew.
5. "la fille de mon grand-père" (my grandfather's daughter) could be an aunt, but if the speaker is the child of the grandfather's son, it's also the speaker's aunt; however, since "ma tante" is an option, but wait—wait, no: the grandfather's daughter is either the speaker's mother or aunt. Since "ma tante" is present, but let's correct: actually, the only fitting option here is "ma tante" (if it's the grandfather's daughter who is not the speaker's mother; but since "ma sceur" is sister, no. Wait, no—wait, let's recheck:
6. "la fille de mon grand-père" = my grandfather's daughter: that is either my mother or my aunt. Since "ma tante" (c) is the only fitting option here (as "ma sceur" is sister, not applicable).
7. "le fils de ma mère" (my mother's son) is my brother.
8. "la fille de mon fils" (my son's daughter) is my granddaughter.
9. "le fils de ma belle-mère" (my stepmother's son) is my half-brother.
