Answer:

C). Under the tree sat my cat.​

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the standard rules, the correct order of the different parts of speech in a sentence is as follows;

'Sub. + auxiliary verb + main verb + adjective + adverb + preposition, etc. + object.'

The third sentence i.e. 'Under the tree sat my cat' follows an inverted subject-verb order as it does not follow the above sequence and thus, the meaning of the sentence is affected. Thus, the correct grammatical and lexical sentence would be;

'My Cat sat under the tree.'
