Choose the sentence that correctly uses the causative structure ‘have something done’ to describe an action arranged rather than performed personally.

AShe is repairing her car.
BShe repaired her car herself.
CShe repairs her car by herself.
DShe had her car repaired.

Explanation

The causative structure ‘have + object + past participle’ is used to describe an action that someone arranges for another person to do for them, rather than doing it themselves, as in ‘She had her car repaired,’ meaning she arranged for a mechanic to repair it. This structure functions similarly to the passive voice by shifting focus away from who actually performed the action, while clearly indicating that the subject did not personally perform the task.
