Solution :

The correct answer is Only I.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Understanding the Family Structure:
The family consists of 7 members (K, H, P, N, G, B, D) spread across 3 generations, with 2 married couples.

2. Analyzing the Relationships:
First Generation: K is the father-in-law of H and D is the mother-in-law of H. Therefore, K (Male) and D (Female) form the first married couple.
Second Generation: H is married to P. Since K and D are the parents-in-law of H, P is the child of K and D. P is the brother of N, and B is also a sibling in this generation. N is unmarried.
Third Generation: G is the daughter of N. B is the maternal uncle of G (brother of G's mother, N).

3. Evaluating the Given Statements:
Statement I: "H is the daughter-in-law of K" — This statement is incorrect according to the family conditions.
Statement II: "B is the brother of P" — Since B, P, and N are siblings, B is the brother of P. (Correct)
Statement III: "The number of male family members is equal to the number of female family members" — This statement holds true for the family composition. (Correct)

Therefore, only statement I is incorrect.
