Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement:
In English grammar, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree with each other in terms of number and person. This means that a singular subject should be paired with a singular verb, and a plural subject should be paired with a plural verb.
Identification of the subject and verb in the given sentence:
1. The subject in the given sentence is "I".
2. The verb in the given sentence is "going".
Interrogative sentence formation:
To form a question in English, we usually invert the subject and verb. In this case, the correct question formation would be "Am I going to school?"
Explanation of the correct answer:
The subject "I" is a first-person singular pronoun, and the verb "going" is the first-person singular form of the verb "go". Therefore, when forming a question, we use the first-person singular form of the verb "be", which is "am". Hence, the correct question formation is "Am I going to school?"
Option analysis:
Let's analyze the other options to understand why they are incorrect:
a) "am I going to school" - This is the correct answer as explained above.
b) "are I going to school" - This option is incorrect because the subject "I" is singular, so the corresponding verb should also be singular ("am" instead of "are").
c) "is we going to school" - This option is incorrect because the subject "we" is plural, so the corresponding verb should also be plural ("are" instead of "is").
d) "is you going to school" - This option is incorrect because the subject "you" can be both singular and plural, but the corresponding verb should be "are" for both cases (instead of "is").
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', "am I going to school".
