Relative Clause Question

Hi,

Here is a multiple choice question:

Writing is an art ---- one can express his or her most inner thoughts in words.

A) through which
B) which

According to the author, there is only one correct option.

I'm not good at detecting relative pronouns with prepositions. In this question I chose B, but the correct answer is A. Is through needed here? Then why? I need a brief explanation.
  

Top answer

Anonymous Writing is an art ---- one can express his or her most inner thoughts in words. You need the A) here. An art is a sort of creative activity, through which one can express himself or herself.
