______ is the book?

interrogative and exclamatory pronouns pronoun english

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Interrogative pronouns are used in an interrogating way i.e in while asking questions(who, which, what, whom, whose etc).

'Who' and 'Whom' are used when asking questions about people where 'who' is used as the subject of the verb and 'whom' is used as the object of the verb.
'What' and 'Which' are used to ask direct questions about objects or people.
'Which' is used in cases where there are a limited number of answers possible whereas 'what' is used when the number of options or answers to a question are unlimited.
