Answer 1

Hint:An interrogative pronoun is (grammar) a pronoun used in a question. In English, the five interrogative pronouns are what, which, who, whom, and whose (also used as relative pronouns). These require no antecedent.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to select the interrogative pronoun that fits in the question ‘____ section of the orchestra does the 'tuba' belong?’
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'who', refers to ‘(interrogative pronoun) What person or people; which person or people (used in a direct or indirect question).’Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as ‘section’ is not a person.
Option (b.), ‘why', refers to ‘For what cause, reason, or purpose’.Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as cause is not being asked.
Option (c.), ‘where', refers to ‘(used interrogatively, in either a direct or indirect question) At what place; to what place; what place.’Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as the place is not mentioned or asked.
Option (d.), ‘which', refers to ‘(relative) Who; whom; what (of those mentioned or implied)’.
Therefore, option (d.) is correct as ‘section’ is being referred to.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of relative pronouns. A relative pronoun is a pronoun (as `that' or `which' or `who') that introduces a relative clause referring to some antecedent.
