The woman to who I sold my house was a criminal.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. to whom I sold.
Whom is used as the object of a verb or a preposition, while "who" functions as the subject.
In the clause to whom I sold the preposition "to" requires an object. The relative pronoun "whom" is the correct object form.
