Solution

The correct option is A that
Relative pronouns have two functions- Like other pronouns they stand for a noun or pronoun placed before them and like conjunctions they join subclauses with main clause and start the adjective clause.
In the given sentence a relative pronoun that modifies the antecedent 'the family' must be used.
The relative pronoun 'that' is used in case of persons or things after the antecedent. Thus option A is the correct answer.
The relative pronouns 'whom', and 'which' are not used after antecedents.
'Where' is used to indicate places.
Thus options B,C,D are incorrect.
