A. Which cannot be used to refer to human beings. Moreover comma is not used.
B. Correct. This conveys the intended meaning. Gregory the great was the last one of the pickish kings.
C. Wrong meaning. It says there were many last pictish kings and gregory the great was one of them. Non sensical.
D. Being is not used correctly.
E. Same as A.
Should be B.

Hi I got a doubt with OA.
The structure "one of the last Pictish kings" say's there are many last pictish kings. How can there be many last ranks ??
Because of this reason i backed out on C and opted B.
awaiting for experts advice.

Located on the North Sea coast of Scotland, Lauriston Castle was the stronghold of Gregory the Great which was the last one of the Pictish kings.

a. which was the last one of the Pictish kings
b. who was the last one of the Pictish kings
c. who was one of the last Pictish kings
d. who was a Pictish king being the last
e. which was one of the last Pictish kings

Confused about the correct answer

My Answer choice C)
We can Eliminate A and E wrong use of pronoun which

D has wrong use of Tense
Between B and C, C looks more concise.
