I have a doubt here. "in which", can this refer to the editor?
Isn't it wrong to address conference in which the editor. It should either be where the editor or like the option D - which the delivery of speech

Not sure whether I understood your question correctly. The relative pronoun "which" does not refer to (is not used to replace) the noun "editor" or the noun "delivery" - it refers to (is used to replace) the noun "conference".

The noun "conference" can be considered an event; thus the pronoun "which" is correct. The noun "conference" can be also be considerd a place; thus the pronoun "where" is also correct. Therefore both of the following sentences are correct:

The team was present in the conference in which ("which referring to "conference") the editor delivered speech.
The team was present in the conference where ("where referring to "conference") the editor deileiverd sppech

Note: The relative pronouns "which" or " where" does not have any bearing on "editor" or "delivery".

Her secretary refers to the editor's secretary. Hence we need a Concrete noun "EDITOR".
Whereas we have a possessive noun Editor's.
Hence, her cannot refer to a possessive noun.

But none of the answer choice corrects this.

Thanks.

I think this is a high-quality question and I don't agree with the explanation. In all the options except for B, "Her" refers to "editor's". But a non-possessive pronoun cannot refer to a possessive noun.
