Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to identify which category of adjectives does the word ‘which’ in the given sentence belongs to.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'Adjective of quantity', refers to adjectives that indicate the estimated amount or amount of the pronoun or noun in the sentence. This kind of adjective doesn’t exact numbers, but only given the information in whole or relative terms.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as ‘which’ does not indicate any quantity of any kind.

Option (b.), ‘Adjective of quality', refers to those adjectives which are used for describing the nature of the subject or noun in the sentence.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as ‘which’ does not describe anything.

Option (c.), ‘Demonstrative adjective', refers to those adjectives which are used to modify a noun such that we know which specific person, place, or thing is mentioned.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as ‘which’ is not demonstrating anything.

Option (d.), ‘Interrogative adjective', refers to words that are similar to interrogative pronouns but cannot stand on their own. It asks a question. In other words, they modify another term, specifically a noun. ‘Which’ and ‘who’ are two interrogative adjectives.
Therefore, option (d.) is correct.
