Hello,

I want to know how to answer the question in the title.
Suppose the girl is my sister, how should I answer it in a sentence?

She is my sister.
The girl is my sister.
That's my sister.
It's my sister.

Are all OK? Which one would you use or something else?

Thank you in advance.
 
I'd say "That's my sister."
 
Could I ask one more question?
Is it safe to use the other answers?
Which one sounds the least natural to you?
 
I expect you know that the shortest answer is 'My sister', but you did stipulate that you wanted it in a sentence.

Is it safe to use the other answers?
Yes, none of them will put you in any danger.;-)
 
My sister would also work.
 
Thank you all for your help.
So it's OK to use "She is my sister," which I was not sure about.

Again, I really appreciate your help.

Should I have used some other word instead of "safe"?:?:
 
OK would work better and sound less alarming. ;-)
 
Also 'acceptable'.
 
Thank you all again for your help.
It's difficult for me to tell how words I use would sound to native speakers.
Now I know I should use OK or acceptable in this case.

Thank you again for your replies.
