Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

The term "elder" is often used in reference to the sons and daughters within a family.
"Older" can be used to refer to people, animals, or objects in comparison, but in the context of familial relationships, "elder" is more appropriate.
Here, Ravish is being referred to in the context of his position among his siblings.

Therefore, the correct answer is elder.

Correct Sentence: "Ravish is the elder of my uncle's five sons."

Additional Information

Odles is not a correct word, thus the option is invalid.
Older is typically used for general comparative purposes outside the context of family hierarchies.
Old is not an appropriate choice as it's not used for comparatives or positional references.
