OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
John's nephews, one who is deaf, are tall, strong and hot-tempered.
A. one who
The relative clause one who is deaf describes the noun immediately before it, namely, nephews. However, nephews is a plural noun, and the relative clause is singular, relating to one nephew only.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: who, which, that, whose, whom
B. one of which
This answer choice is grammtically incorrect. The relative pronoun which can only describe non-humans whereas nephews are humans.

C. one of whom
CIRRECT
D. one of them who
When deliberating between the relative pronouns who and whom, who is the default choice, and we use whom instead in one of two cases:
- 1. A preposition appears between the noun and the relative clause that modifies it.
2. The noun that the relative clause modifies is not the subject of the relative clause, but rather its object.
In this sentence, the preposition of makes us choose whom over who.
