Solution

The correct option is D which
Answer : A

Explanation:

Relative pronouns are the pronouns that are used to introduce the dependent clause in the sentence. It can be for either the object or the subject.

Here, in this question, the relative pronoun with which we are supposed to fill the blank should correctly represent the subject ("food").

Thus the most appropriate word from among the options is "which".
The relative pronouns used for objects are: "which", "that", "whose".

"whom" & "who" are used to refer to people, thus it is inappropriate for use here, and this eliminates option B & C.

"when" is used to refer to time, thus it is inappropriate for use here, and this eliminates option D.

Therefore the correct complete sentence is:

I don't like food WHICH is very spicy.
