Solution

The correct option is C He only stopped for lunch on his way to his parents' place.
The correct answer is Option C because the adverb "only" is always placed before the verb that it modifies. Here, the adverb "only" modifies the verb "stopped" and hence, it is placed just before the verb in the sentence.
Options A and B are wrong because they do not have the correct placement of "only."
Option D is wrong because the original sentence is incorrect and needs to be changed.
