The correct option is Brother-in-law.


Let's break down the relation step-by-step from the speaker's (the man's) perspective:


1. "my wife’s father": The father of the man's wife is his father-in-law.


2. "my wife’s father’s only son": The only son of the man's father-in-law would be his wife's brother.


3. Therefore, the wife's brother is related to the man as his Brother-in-law.
