Answer

The father.

Work Step by Step

As we know that $\Delta t_{daughter}=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{115}{343}=0.335s$ similarly $\Delta t$ for father is given as $\Delta_{father}=\frac{d}{c}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta_{father}=\frac{132\times 10^3}{3.00\times 10^8}=4.40\times 10^{-4}s$ Thus, the father hears the home run first.
