Statement B: One son always tells the truth and one son always lies.

Statement C: Statement A and Statement B are not both lies.

Here are a few facts given related to the statements above and the men who made them:

(i) Albert made one of the statements, his father made another of the statements, and his son made the remaining statement.

(ii) Each father and son mentioned in the statements refers to one of the three men.

(iii) Each man either always tells the truth or always lies.

Which statement – A, B or C – was made by Albert?

You are making two unwarrented assumptions: that all three statements are true (which they can't be since Statement B claims that one of the sons is a liar), and that the statements were made in age order.
