Who did it
Which is the correct way of writing the sentences?
a. Who did it was a mystery.
b. "Who did it?" was a mystery.
c. What happened that day is not known.
d. "What happened that day" is not known.
The sentences are mine.
I had never thought of this before. The problem is that the person who did it is not a mystery. The question is a mystery. I am not sure at all.
Many thanks.

a. Who did it was a mystery.
c. What happened that day is not known.
However, (c) doesn't sound very natural to me. I'd probably just say: No one knows what happened that day.
