Explanation
The sentence is 'He asked whether either of the brothers ________'. 'Either' is singular, so it takes a singular verb. Option (a) 'were' and (b) 'are' are plural, (d) 'have come' is plural. Option (c) 'was at home' uses the singular 'was' correctly. The reported speech 'asked whether' requires the past tense. Therefore option C is correct.
