I don't think it's indicating a question; it's more of an abbreviation of ですか. (We 
wouldn't split an entry like this.)

I might be wrong but is だ sometimes used to indicate a question? see  phrases like だれだ? どこだ?
I see the argument that these are just examples sense 1, "be, is" but I'm not really sure that's the case.
Not for example how だ can not be followed by か (while verbs, na-adjectives, i-adjectives, nouns, can all come before a "か")
e.g. X だれだか?X どこだか? 
on the other hand X お前だ?  doesn't work as a question. so if it's a "question particle", it's only with interrogatives.
Btw shouldn't senses 2 & 3 be a separate entry, maybe together with た?
