Whenever talking about people use "who" personal pronoun. Only B, C and D left.
B. The first political passengers on modern railroad cars were a president, a senator, and a governor, who traveled >> Answer who refers to "passengers" which is a group of people
C. A president, a senator, and a governor were the first political passengers on modern railroad cars who traveled >> needs comma before who. who refers to passengers
D. A president, a senator, and a governor who were the first political passengers on modern railroad cars to travel >> who has more than one referrent - you dont know which. "who" reference should be unambiguous and should refer to a single person/group.
I want to see more explanation from someone else why C is wrong.
