Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let’s break down the original sentences:
"We visited the home of one boy."
"That's the boy I mean."
These sentences can be combined to form a single sentence that refers to the boy whose home we visited. The word "whose" is the correct relative pronoun to show possession — in this case, the home belongs to the boy.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. that's the boy whom we visited his home – incorrect because it repeats possession awkwardly (you can't say "whom" and then "his home").
C. that's the boy to whose home we visited – incorrect preposition use; "to" is unnecessary and ungrammatical in this context.
D. that's the boy the home of whom we visited – grammatically possible but very awkward and unnatural in modern English.
