This question is designed to make you read it as...

"Mary has 3 daughters- Jenny, Julia and-"

Many people might feel inclined to answer Jennifer to complete the pattern of J names.

But if you read carefully, the question asks about Mary's mother's daughters.

So, the correct answer is M a r y \boxed{Mary} , because Mary's mother's other two daughters are already listed.

Mary is (logically) her own mother's daughter, which means that out of the three daughters that her mother has, she would be one of them. This means that the third unmentioned child would be Mary herself.
