Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct answer is the third option .
When forming indirect questions, we don't use the auxiliary verb "do" or "did" in the subordinate clause. Instead, we use the word order of a declarative sentence
The correct one is the third option, as it follows the appropriate structure for indirect questions.
Therefore, the correct statement would be: The teacher asked him where he lived.
