Correct Answer: The officer asked the witness whether he had noticed anything unusual on the night of the breach.
A yes/no question becomes "asked... whether" with backshifted tense ("had noticed") and statement word order. The trap is (c), which keeps a plausible reporting verb but fails to backshift the tense.
