I agree - C) Rodney

The question is -

What is the name of Freddie Robdal’s son?

The actor who plays Freddie is Nicholas Lyndhurst (who played Rodney) but Rodney is not in the film. See here - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1553620/

Ok, im wrong (hangs head in shame ) (see below)

I watched this programme and the answer is C) Rodney.

Here's a link which confirms it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8290293.stm

By the way, the reason Rodney was not in it comping cat was that he was being conceived in the programme when Del's mum has a fling with Freddie!

:o I think the answer is C) Rodney too. Rodney is Freddie's son. Nicholas Lyndhurst played Freddie, because they wanted him to look like Rodney. See Wiki here:
"In the original series, "Freddie the Frog" was an unseen character, first mentioned in "The Frog's Legacy" and later revealed to be Rodney's biological father. Robdal was a career thief who had been a frogman in the Royal Navy (hence the nickname), and had an extramarital affair with Joan Trotter. Robdal died shortly afterwards when he accidentally sat on his own detonator during a bank robbery. The Trotters' search for his hidden gold legacy was the focal point of the episode "The Frog's Legacy". When an old photograph of Robdal surfaced in the episode "Sleepless in Peckham", his striking resemblance to Rodney finally settled the issue of the latter's paternity after years of speculation."

Del's father is Reg, not Freddie See Wiki here:
"His mother Joan died on 12 March 1964 — after an apparent long string of illnesses. Three months afterwards, his lazy father Reginald left, taking most of their money and even Del's birthday cake, left a teenage Derek as the sole breadwinner of the abandoned Trotter family. Del's grandfather was not up to taking the lead, his best efforts having failed, so Del was left to look after him and Rodney, his younger half-brother, who was born fifteen years after him in 1960."

Thanks for explaining, i read the cast list and didnt see Rodney in the list, which is why i (and probably Laks) thought it was Del.
