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.The relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, what, that, as and but.
In the given sentence 'what' is the relative pronoun. The antecedent is a pronoun that refers to something previously mentioned in the sentence. This sentence has no antecedent. The relative pronoun 'what' is used when the antecedent in the sentence is understood.Thus option B is the correct answer. Options A,C,D are incorrect.
