You must find somebody ___ can help you.

• B. whom
• C. who
• D. what
• E. which

Answer 1

The correct option is C who

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.

'What' is used when the antecedent is understood.

The relative pronouns 'which' and 'that' are used for things.

The relative pronoun 'who' is used for persons. 'Whose' is the possessive form of 'who'. 'Whom' is the objective form of 'who'.

Here, the subjective form must be used as the clause serves as a subject. So, the relative pronoun 'who' must be used.

Thus option C is the correct answer.

Options A,B,D and E are incorrect.
