"to whom one is accountable to" vs "who one is accountable to."

Not sure which is more correct:
"X depends on to whom one is accountable." vs "X depends on who one is accountable to."
My sense is that it's the second. But there's a dangling particple, right? So isn't that problem? THx!

The second is more natural. There is no participle in that sentence, dangling or otherwise.

  • The second is more natural.
