Since the man is his mother's only son, the boy is his nephew. Since the boy is his nephew, the boy's mother would have to be siblings with the man, thus the boy's mother is the man's sister.

it could be his cousin ><

Nope, if the answer was "cousin", that would make that dude a second cousin of Rishi and,

Second Cousin Nephew \textrm{Second Cousin}\neq \textrm{ Nephew }

The question is incorrect. If Rishi is male, he would be his mother's only son. Rishi has to be female.

The question says that Rishi is his mother's only son.
