Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Solution
The correct answer is Which is.
'Which is' will replace 'Who is'.
When a choice needs to be made among various options, which is used.
For example: Which is your mother among these women?
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Which is your brother in the crowd?" my friend said.
'Who' is used in a subjective case. 'Whom' is used in an objective case.
For example: Who delivered this package? (Here, the subject i.e 'who' will deliver the package. Therefore, who is appropriate here.)
Another example: This package was delivered to whom? (Here, the package is the subject. The 'whom' will receive the package. Therefore, whom is appropriate here.)
