Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: MTA

Explanation

The final official key awards marks to all, retained here. “That” naturally introduces the restrictive relative clause referring to the dog, while “which” is also used for animals in common usage. Who/whom are not the intended animal-relative choices. The ambiguity was resolved by universal credit rather than one scored option.
