Solution

The mother's age now is thrice the age of the daughter. So, the mother is 3 * 10 = 30 years old.

The father is 5 years older than the mother. So, the father is 30 + 5 = 35 years old.

When the daughter was born, which is 10 years ago, the father was 35 - 10 = 25 years old.

So, the correct answer is 25 years.
