Explanation

D is the grandmother of F, so D is an older member of the family. C, the lawyer, is the daughter-in-law of D, so D is married to the judge (B). E is the unmarried doctor, so D is not the doctor. F is the draughtsman, son of B and brother of E. A is the engineer and married to the stenographer (so A is married to E, and B is the stenographer).

The remaining profession that has not been explicitly assigned is Stenographer, and since A is married to the stenographer, it makes sense that D must be the Stenographer.
