Answer 1

Answer: (C)

What

The given sentence is a question. Thus, the answer must be an interrogative word. The answer must refer to the noun 'breakfast'. Thus, the answer must be a pronoun that refers to objects.

Option A is incorrect. 'When' is an adverb and it refers to time and not objects. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect. 'Where' is an adverb that refers to place. It cannot refer to objects. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option C is correct. 'What' is an interrogative pronoun that refers to objects. Thus, it meets the required conditions and is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. 'How' is an adverb that indicates manner. It does not refer to objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
