1. 'Who' is a subject pronoun like 'he', 'she' and 'they'. We use 'who' to ask which person did an action or which person is in a certain state. 2. 'Whom' is an object pronoun like 'him', 'her' and 'us'. We use ‘whom’ to ask which person received an action. 3. 'Whose' is a possessive pronoun like 'his', and 'our'. We use 'whose' to find out which person something belongs to. Ex: Whose turn is it to move? |
In the above given sentence, ‘whose’ is the correct possessive pronoun to be used here. As here ‘Parents of Meera’s friend’ are referred. No other option is apt. according to the question. |
