• C. <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> whom the police caught yesterday

Answer 1

The correct option is C <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> whom the police caught yesterday

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the clause 'whom the police caught yesterday' tells us more about the head noun 'thief'.
