I don't think any of your choices is right.
A demonstrative adjective is a demonstrative pronoun used as an adjective.

It certainly isn't interrogative or proper.
But here's the definition of an indefinite adjective -- again derived from a pronoun.

Please check with your teacher to see if this question is in error.
Its an automated question checked by a computer, so I'm not sure. My teacher didn't say anything about their being an error but a lot of the question in our course that are worded oddly. This question really confused me, I tried looking in our text book but nothing seemed right.
Should I just put demonstrative and see what happens? Or is there a better option among the answers?
* A LOT of work
Well, to be honest, I'm not really sure either! But I do know that "(complex)" is an indefinite adjective, because it adds information about the science without specifying a particular type. So, it's like saying there is some kind of complex science behind elevator construction, but we're not being specific about exactly which kind. Hope that helps, and you're welcome for the... somewhat helpful response! 😅
To determine what kind of adjective "(complex)" is in the sentence, we can break down the sentence and see how "(complex)" is being used.
In the sentence, "(complex)" is modifying the noun "science." It is describing the type or quality of the science behind the construction of elevators. In this case, "(complex)" is providing additional information about the science and specifying its characteristics.
Based on this usage, we can determine that "(complex)" is functioning as an adjective. Specifically, it is functioning as an indefinite adjective because it is modifying a singular noun and expressing an unspecified quality or characteristic of the science.
Therefore, the correct answer is "(complex)" is an indefinite adjective in the sentence.
I don't see a better option.
I see a lot of bad questions and wrong answers in these for-profit online schools. I hope that you can transfer to a real school with real teachers.
