Erläuterung
When referring to siblings, "elder" is used to indicate the brother or sister who is older in age. While "older" is also a correct term to use in this context, "elder" is more specific when talking about family relationships. "Elder" shows the seniority in age within the family, making it the most appropriate option in this case.
