The basic order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object. In an interrogative sentence, the order is slightly altered. A question word (who, what, why, etc.) precedes the subject. If there is a helping verb along with the main verb, then it comes after the question word and before the subject. To this basic structure, different elements can be added. For example, noun phrases, adjective phrases, subject complements, types of clauses and so on. Option C: The structure in this sentence complies with the basic structure: subject (Whose house) + main verb (is) + determiner (this). 'Whose' is an interrogative adjective that modifies the noun 'house'. Hence C is correct. Option A: The order does not create a meaningful sentence. 'Whose' takes over as the subject and does not create a complete meaning. Option B: The order is a jumble of words which do not form a coherent meaning. Option D: The order has been altered, the subject 'whose' takes the position of the object and vice versa. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
