Explanation / Answer

Farfela and marbles share a nice aunt relationship and hence would share 25% of the genes.

Juice is the 1st cousin of farfela'e grandmother. Now, farfela and his grandfather would share 25% genes and his grandfather would share 12.5% with his first cousin. Hence farfela and juice would share 2%

Angie and farfela are first cousins and so would share 12.5% genes.

Hence farfela and juice would be the best option.
