D. When

Answer 1

Hint:The given sentence is in the form of a question. Therefore, we will use an interrogative pronoun. The sentence indicates that the question is enquiring about a person who is the concerned person to be written about the job. Therefore, we will use the option which is appropriate to be used in regard of a person.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer with the help of the above stated hint.

What : The interrogative pronoun ‘what’ is used to enquire about an object. Example: What is the time? This is not used in reference to a person. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Why: The interrogative pronoun ‘why’ is used to enquire about a reason or a cause. . Example: Why are you upset? This is not used in reference to a person. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Whom: The interrogative pronoun ‘whom’ is used to enquire about a person. Example: Whom are you with? This is used in reference to a person. Therefore, this is the correct option.

When: The interrogative pronoun ‘when’ is used to enquire about a time period. Example: When are you coming? This is not used in reference to a person. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.
