The answer: C. Eliud
Perez was the son of Judah and Tamar (Gen 38:29); Rehoboam was Solomon's son (1 Kgs 11:43); and Joram was Jehoshaphat's son (2 Sam 8:10). Eliud is found only in the Matthean genealogy.
What's the point of the question? From R. E. Brown, BCCA, p 25: "If it was a challenge to recognize in the last part of Matthew's genealogy that totally unknown people [underline for emphasis] were part of the story of Jesus Christ, it may be a greater challenge to recognize that the unknown characters of today are an essential part of the sequence. A sense of being unimportant and too insignificant to contribute to the continuation of the story of Jesus Christ in the world is belied by the genealogy, and the proclamation of the genealogy in the Advent liturgy, is designed to give us hope about our destiny and our importance."
Those who answered C is corrected (see below), those who answered D (which I earlier mismarked as correct) is also correct following Pontius Pilate's reply to the chief priests (John 19:22): Quod scripsi scripsi.
