Answer and video explanation:
https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... stion/2056Notice here that the phrase "that during the time was prominent primarily because of the works of J.S. Bach" - does NOT restrict the scope of the "baroque style music" we are talking about.
In other words, it's not that there are lots of different kinds of baroque style music -- and the KIND that we are talking about is the KIND THAT was prominent primarily because of X. Since this is not the case, then usage of THAT here is not correct. We would use WHICH instead since the phrase above provides GENERAL DESCRIPTION of baroque style music - rather than a specific kind of baroque style of music.
