Answer 1

Hint: The word given in the options is actually interrogative words that are also used in the middle of the sentence. Use the given options and check if the given sentence makes sense.

Complete answer:
Using option a, the sentence will read as Here are the books, what are yours? This question does not make any sense. Some examples using the word what are: What is the time? What place is this?
Option b would read as Here are the books which are yours? The sentence makes sense because the word which is used to describe the word books. Therefore it is the correct option.
Option c is wrong because Here are the books whose are yours? is incorrect. The word whose is used to refer to a person and not to inanimate objects like books.
Option d is going to read as: Here are the books wherever they are yours? The word wherever does not define the word books, nor does it refer to the word books.
Option e is incorrect because Here are the books whether are yours? is grammatically incorrect. The word used in the blank should be defining the word books.
