Arrange your chess board as follows:WHITE: B-a4, N-b7, pawn-d7, K-e5, pawn-g7, R-h7; BLACK: Q-g4, K-e7, R-c8, B-e8, N-f8; White to move. It must checkmate black in one move. Which of the following moves delivers that checkmate?

Queening the pawn in D7 by moving it to D8. The White queen now automatically delivers a check to the Black king.

White pawn in D7 takes Black's rook in C8 and gets a Knight (instead of a queen) to automatically check the Black king.

Queening the pawn in G7 by moving it to G8. This opens up a check on the black king from the white rook in H7.

White pawn in G7 moves to G8 and gets a knight (instead of a queen). The black king is now under double check from the new White knight and the rook. So, the black queen cannot move to capture the white knight.
