Solution
The correct option is C only He was the 'only' child in the family so he had no brothers or sisters to play with.
In this context, the adjective 'only' qualifies the noun child. No other word fits the blank properly and agrees with the structure of the sentence. SO, option D is correct and the other options are not.
