Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution The correct answer is 'that'.
Key points:
Use 'that' when referring to things (non-people) in restrictive relative clauses that identify which item is meant.
Use 'who' for people when they are the subject of a relative clause.
Use 'whom' for people when they are the object of a verb or preposition; it is not appropriate here.
Use 'which' for things, but it is commonly used in non-restrictive clauses (often set off by commas). In restrictive clauses like this proverb, 'that' is preferred.
Examples:
All that glitters is not gold.

Final note: In this sentence 'that' correctly links the noun 'all' (referring to things) to the relative clause. Therefore the complete sentence is: All that glitters is not gold.
