Explanation

Ena is 13 years old. Ena's mother is 24 years older than Ena, so her mother is 13 + 24 = 37 years old. Ena's mother is 3 years younger than her father, so her father is 37 + 3 = 40 years old. Ena was born 13 years ago. At the time of Ena's birth, her father's age was 40 - 13 = 27 years. Ena was born 4 years after her parents' marriage. This means the marriage happened 4 years before Ena was born. Therefore, Ena's father's age at marriage was 27 - 4 = 23 years. The final answer is 23 years, which corresponds to option B.
