If his father is still alive then it will be in present tense otherwise in past.

Even my thought also same thing as said.

Why not like this "the small child does whatever his father did". Even I agree with option C also correct, but my mind say's this is also correct. Little more clarification for option B.

Yes, this is in the simple present when the third person is coming. So, Does is used.

Generally, there are a lot of opinions to the reader but according to the rule, if principle clause is in the present tense, the sub-ordinate clause is also in the present tense. Here sentence denotes profession of the child.

I agree @KURNAL.

Why not has done?

Its also present.

@ALL.

Not sure why most of the people say it is "does".

I suppose it should be "did".

The small child does whatever his father "DID".

Because the action of the kid is after the completion of father's action or while processing it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
