what is underlined?

anonymous · Answer

sorry the underlined word is Whom

anonymous · Answer

I would say C simply because if you reword it as
"You are calling whom?"
(everything retains same parts of speech)
You is the subject because "you" is the noun doing the action.
"Are calling" is what "you" are doing.
Whom is the direct object referring to "calling"
