Answer explanation

"Did she do it?"

This sentence is an interrogative sentence because it asks a question. Interrogative sentences typically begin with a question word (e.g., who, what, where, when, why, how) or an auxiliary verb (e.g., is, can, will, did) followed by the subject and main verb. In this case, "Did" is the auxiliary verb, and "she" is the subject, forming the question "Did she do it?" to inquire about whether or not someone performed a specific action.
