The given sentence is ‘assertive’ not an ‘interrogative’ one. In an assertive sentence, the auxiliary verb comes after the subject, whereas in an interrogative sentence the auxiliary verb comes just after the question word. For example: Why were you absent from the class? – Interrogative Sentence

Why he was absent, asked his friend. – Assertive Sentence

In the light of the above examples, the given sentence is an assertive sentence. Therefore, option (a) is the correct option to replace the phrase in bold. All other options can easily be excluded by applying the principle of least deviation.
