C Correct answer
Explanation

'Call into question' is the correct idiom meaning to doubt or challenge something. 'In question' (as in 'under review') doesn't fit the context. 'Out of question' means impossible, and 'under question' is not the standard expression. 'Call into question' best expresses challenging the validity of his statement.
