Default The question difficult to answer

Many teachers in China's classrooms like setting such a question:

The next question ( ) was put to me by Mary.
A\ I found difficult to answer
B\ I found it difficult to answer
C\ that I found it difficuilt to answer
D\ I found difficult to answer it
The given answer is A.

With A the sentence might be grammatically correct, but I do doubt that native speakers will say such things. So I did some searching on the web of reference.com and google.com, and there are no results for "the question I found difficult to answer" or "the question I found it diffucult to answer".

Could native English teachers kindly help me solve my question?

Thank you very much.
