Biomedical engineers at the sporting equipment convention,  one who  is wheelchair bound, will demonstrate equipment that allows physically challenged athletes to compete effectively.

a) one who
b) one of them who
c) and one of them who
d) one of whom
e) one of which

First of all.
Even you do not know all the rules.
Option D is more concise. Option B sounds "a little" weird.

Second of all.
Who is used as a subject of a sentence. Example: Who likes to eat chocolate?
Whom - as a object of a sentence. Example: He saw the kinds faces of those whom he loved.

Experts,

Will you pls suggest why we need a "whom" out here. As stated in this thread previously, "whom" is used when it acts as objects.

But in this case clause "one of who is wheelchair bound" has "one of who" as subject out here. SO it should be "who" instead of "whom".

Pls suggest what I am missing out here.

LauraOrion · Answer

Good question! The word "whom" is necessary because it comes after a preposition. (You can remember this by thinking about "one of them...", "to him/her." Any time you have a preposition, you need the objective form of the pronoun.
