C is taller than D.
Given 4 persons A,B,C,D which are married couples and both females are shorter than their husbands, so option A is correct. If A is tallest among B,C and D which is husband, and D is B's brother, which is also male, so it is noted that both B and C are females, hence option D is correct. Also, if D is B's brother, so D is husband of C and also shorter than A and taller than C. So finally we see that C is taller than B and is shortest among all, so option C is not correct.
