3. (options: grandmother...uncle; cousin...grandfather; grandfather...cousin; grandfather...uncle)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the family tree:

1. Muhammad's father is Abdullah, whose father is Abdul - Muttalib. So Abdul - Muttalib is Muhammad's grandfather.
2. Abu Talib is a sibling of Abdullah (since they have the same parents, Fatimah bint Amr and Abdul - Muttalib), so Abu Talib is Muhammad's uncle.

Looking at the options, the correct pair is "grandfather... uncle".

Answer:

grandfather... uncle (from the option "grandfather... uncle")
