Answer 1

Hint: An exclamatory sentence is a declarative sentence with more emphasis. It is filled with some emotion or excitement and it ends with an exclamation mark. An assertive sentence is simply a declarative sentence that makes a statement. Example: I am sick. We will look for an option that simply makes a statement.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct option with the help of the above stated hint.
Why is it a lovely day today?:- This is an interrogative statement as it is in a question form. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Is it a lovely day today?:- This is an interrogative statement as it is in a question form. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
It is a lovely day today.:- It is a declarative sentence or as it is called, an assertive sentence as it is simply declaring an opinion. Therefore, this is the correct option.
None of the above:- This option is invalid as we have found our answer in option C.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note: Assertive sentences are declarative statements and are generally neutral in terms of conveying a mood. An interrogative sentence is the one in which a question is being asked. It is enquiring in nature. It uses a question mark in the end.
