How would you write the clause here?

He bent down to pick up an orange, that/which had fallen off his desk / fallen from his desk / dropped from his desk, and started peeling it.

1) "that" or "which"?

2) How would you write the emboldened clause? Would one of my suggestions be good?

anonymous He bent down to pick up an orange [no comma] that/which which had fallen off his desk and started peeling it. 'that' instead of 'which' is not wrong. CJ
