Answer 1

The correct answer is 'whom'.

Key Points

The relative pronoun "whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition.
In this sentence, "I trust most" indicates that the pronoun is the object of the verb "trust."
Options 1, 3, and 4 are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "He is the friend whom I trust most."

Additional Information

Option 1: "him" is incorrect because "him" is a pronoun and does not function as a relative pronoun.
Option 3: "which" is incorrect as it is used for things, not people.
Option 4: "who" is incorrect because "who" is used as the subject of a clause, not the object.
