Explanation
The question focuses on the sibling relationships within Manav's maternal family. Manav has 5 maternal aunts and 4 maternal uncles. This means his mother has 5 sisters and 4 brothers. The question specifies that one of Manav's maternal aunts is a teacher. Crucially, this teacher is one of the 5 sisters of Manav's mother. Therefore, the number of sisters this teacher has is 5 - 1 = 4. The number of brothers remains unchanged at 4. The teacher, being one of Manav's maternal aunts, is one of five sisters and four brothers within her own family of origin. Thus, the correct answer is 5 sisters and 4 brothers.
