Explanation
Here's why the other options are incorrect:A) "Which" should be replaced with "who" as the sentence refers to people doing things to other people, not things doing things to things.B) "Whom" is incorrect in the nominative case. "Who" is the correct pronoun in the subject position.C) "Who" is repeated unnecessarily after "to." The sentence is already clear without it.
