Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Which.

Context: The blank requires a relative pronoun linking “social, racial and environmental issues” to “it is deeply entangled.”

Meaning of the words:

Which – Correct; refers to the preceding noun

Whom – Refers to people; not suitable

That – Could fit but “which” is more precise in formal writing

Whose – Shows possession; not suitable

Correct word: Which

Reason: “Which it is deeply entangled” correctly connects the issue with the climate context.

Final Sentence: Climate justice connects the climate crisis to the social, racial and environmental issues in which it is deeply entangled.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
