Answer 1

Hint: In the given sentence, the aim is to get information. In order to get information, one has to use enquiring sentences. These types of sentences have a special punctuation mark.

Complete answer: The given sentence is clearly an interrogative sentence.
It is evident due to the fact that the words are arranged in a way that the verb is the first word of the sentence. The sentence is arranged in such a way that it seems to be asking for actual information. So, there is a curiosity factor. In order to convert it into a simple question, we will need to add another punctuation mark at the end that conveys that the person is asking for information. In grammatically correct sentences, the proper nouns are capitalised.
Now, we know exactly which type of sentence we need. Let’s look at the given options:
 a. Do they Have faith in God? - In this sentence, the question mark is placed at the end of the sentence and the first letter of the word ‘God’ is capitalised, which is correct. However, the verb ‘have’ is also capitalised, which is incorrect. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
b. Do they have faith in God! - This sentence is considered an exclamatory sentence due to the exclamation mark. The sentence that we require is an interrogative sentence. this is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c. Do they have faith in God? - In this sentence, the question mark is placed at the end of the sentence and the first letter of the word ‘God’ is capitalised. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
d. Do they have faith in god? - In this sentence, the question mark is placed at the end of the sentence but, the first letter of the word ‘God’ is not capitalised, which is incorrect. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note: An interrogative sentence should always be ended with a question mark no matter if it contains other punctuation or not. As the question mark is not the part of the title (or whatever you put in quotation marks) it should be left outside.
