In which or where or that

1. ''This is the sentence in which it contains two noun phrases.''

2. ''This is the sentence where it contains two noun phrases.''

3. ''This is the sentence that contains two noun phrases''

I think No 1 and No 2 are wrong.
But I don't know what the problem is.
  

Top answer
