Hi teachers

There is a strange relative clause question here

the painting.

A. who
B. whom
C. which
D. whose

The coreect option is A. But I think it should be B. What do you think?

Think of it as: This is the woman who (the artist said) posed as a model for the painting. 'Who' is the grammatical subject of the verb 'posed'.
