#1. i don't understand why my test request me to pick the correct one though both are fine.

Because it is a poorly conceived test. 'Which' can be used with both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses, though it is more commonly used for non-restrictive clauses; 'that' can be used only with restrictive clauses.
