ANSWER

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.

Option C: The structure in this sentence complies with the basic structure:

question word/subject (Who) + verb (has hung) + object (the painting) + prepositional phrase (on the wall).

('Who' is an interrogative pronoun that also functions as the subject.)

Hence C is correct.

Option A: The order isn't right. The verb should not be placed before the question word.

Options B and D: Similarly, the order in each of these is a jumble of words which do not form a coherent meaning.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
