Nobody will believe ______ you have just said.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. what.

Context: The sentence refers to the content or the thing that was said.

Meaning of the words:
That: Used to introduce a clause but not suitable here for expressing the content directly.
Who: Refers to a person (not suitable here).
What: Refers to "the thing which" – appropriate for expressing the content of what was said.
Which: Refers to a choice between alternatives – not suitable here.

Correct word: What

Reason: The clause "what you have just said" means “the thing that you have just said,” which fits logically and grammatically.

Final Sentence: Nobody will believe what you have just said.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
