Correct Answer: where does


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

In this interrogative sentence, the correct form should be "where do" instead of "where does" to maintain agreement between the subject and the verb. The subject "oysters" is plural, and the verb "come" should also be in the plural form.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Have you ever wondered where do oysters come from?"
