Question

There’s the boy ________ broke the window.
A) which
B) where
C) whose
D) who

Answer 1

Hint: Pronouns are words that act as noun substitutes. At the beginning of an adjective clause, relative pronouns are used (a dependent clause that modifies a noun). Who, which, and that are the three most common relative pronouns.

Complete answer:
Let us evaluate the options for which one is appropriate for the sentence.
Option A) which: This is incorrect because here we are referring to a Person ‘boy’ and ‘Which’ can be applied to both animals and objects in general. For instance: Bridget took her dog to the park, which he enjoys chasing squirrels.

Option B) where: This option is incorrect because ‘Where’ is a conjunction that means 'in that position' or 'in that situation.' ‘Where’ is a subordinate clause that requires the addition of the main clause to complete its purpose. We use a comma if the where clause comes before the main clause: Where there is a lot of water, you can also find these lovely insects. As a result, we are unable to use it in the current scenario.

Option C) whose: This option is not correct because ‘Whose’ is a possessive form of ‘Who’. Whose may be used to refer to a person, animals, or objects. For instance: A dog whose owner lets it run loose may
 cause an accident.

Option D) Who: This option is correct because ‘Who’ is primarily used for individuals. These pronouns, on the other hand, maybe used to refer to animals who are mentioned by name and treated as individuals.

In this Context ‘Who’ will be used for a boy that broke the Window. Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Relative pronouns come after the noun or pronoun that they modify. A relative clause indicates the sentence's subject. These clauses are sometimes known as adjective clauses since they act as adjectives in the sentence and describe a noun or a pronoun.
