The last “wild” Indian in North America, according to anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, was the lone survivor of California’s lost Yahi tribe, which staggered out of the mountains near Lassen Peak in 1912, deep in mourning for the last of his companions, expecting to be butchered and eaten by white ranchers.

The relative pronoun should logically refer to the last man rather than the tribe, the correct diction is 'who' to refer to the man who staggered. Therefore B.

(A) which
(C) that
(E) having
"staggered out of the mountains..etc" is meant to modify the "wild Indian"
therefore options A/C and E cannot be used to describe a person!- eliminate A/C and E
between B and D
(B) who- Correct!
(D) the survivor having
this option creates a sentence fragment- no verb exists for the subject "the survivor"- wrong!
