If we see the construction of the sentence there is a word (WAS) which means the sentence is Past, & you cannot Answer A&B because it is present, while (C) could not be used for the very simple reason 1. There is a word WAS and if you answered (C) you made redundancy on the Sentence. 2. WHO is used after a noun or pronoun.

Basically who refers when we ask pointing someone like who are they? while whom refers to a particular person like with whom you are going out? so in the given sentence, it was said that the person has sold the house to a particular person so whom is to be placed instead of who.

Since the man is receiver so he becomes object and object of the Relative pronoun is whom such as.
I killed the man.
I----- doer ---- Relative Pronoun should be (Who).
The man-----receiver----R P ( whom).
So, the answer is D.
I killed the man.
I----- doer ---- Relative Pronoun should be (Who).
The man-----receiver----R P ( whom).
So, the answer is D.

The man who was sold to my house was a cheat is correct answer.
When something is main then after that supporting word doesn't accept preposition if someone has written in his book except that he is low class of knowledge.

In the sentence "was cheat" is in past, so the option which contains past form of the verb is correct and of course we might think an option "C", but past form never follows "to". Hence option "D" is correct.

"Whom" in this sentence is a relative pronoun that refers to the object who is the man.
If the man was the subject, we would use "who".
If the man was the subject, we would use "who".

Ya answer is correct because who is used for person in subject case while whom is also used for persion in object case.

Ya answer is correct because the house was sold to a man he was cheat in indirect speech we follow that as "whom".

No who is mainly used in subjective case here it is objective so man just whom, other yes it is past tense.
