Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The mother asked the child, “Will you tell me who did accompany you to the airport?”

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) who accompanied you.
· Explanation: The sentence is in reported speech and refers to a past event. The verb "did accompany" is incorrect here, and the simple past form "accompanied" is sufficient.
· Grammatical Rule Used: When converting direct to indirect speech, modal verbs like "did" are replaced by their corresponding past tense forms or omitted if unnecessary.
· Example: Direct: "Who did visit you yesterday?" → Indirect: "Who visited you yesterday?"
