Answer 1

Hint: In the given options, all the words are ‘interrogative words', which are function words, used to ask a question. For example, What, when, where, etc.

Complete answer:
Interrogative words are also known as question words. They may be used for both indirect questions and indirect questions. In English and various other languages, the same forms are used as relative pronouns in certain relative clauses, and certain adverb clauses. In the given question, we have to fill in the blank with the correct wh-word.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option :
Option ‘a' is Who. It is a pronoun which means – what or which person it people. It is used to give further information about a person or people previously mentioned.
Option ‘b’ is When. It is an adverb which means – at what time; after which. For example: When did you last see him.
Option ‘c’ is Which. It is a determiner which means – asking for information specifying one or more people or things from a definite set. For example: Which one of them is dead?
Option ‘d’ is What. It is a pronoun which means – asking for information specifying any random thing or person. For example: What is your name?
As we have analysed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the interrogative words that can be filled into the blank is – which. The complete sentence would be – The photograph, which I took five years ago, shows the harbour quite well. Hence, option ‘c’ is the correct option.

Note:
Don’t confuse between ‘what’ and ‘which’. ‘Which’ is generally used for things and not people, whereas ‘what' is used for people. Every interrogative word plays a different role.
