Solution

The correct option is D The government proposed to build a three-storey-high house for orphans.
Since "three-storey-high" is the attributive adjective to "house", the adjective should be placed before the noun. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this goal, hence incorrect.
