Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: whom, about

Explanation: 'Whom' is the correct relative pronoun for a person as the object of the clause, and 'about' is the preposition used with 'ask' to indicate the subject of inquiry (e.g., 'you asked about him'). A. whom, about ✅: 'Whom' refers to the man (object), and 'about' fits 'asked about,' meaning inquired about. B. that, for ❌: 'That' can refer to people but is less formal, and 'for' doesn’t fit with 'asked.' C. for, from ❌: 'For' is not a relative pronoun, and 'from' doesn’t suit 'asked.' D. this, for ❌: 'This’ is a demonstrative, not a relative pronoun, and 'for' is incorrect with 'asked.' Correct Answer: A. whom, about.
