"I cannot answer the question __________ you say is very difficult. A. who B. which C. what D. whom Which answer is correct?" Hello!!! We are teachers but cannot decide which is correct. one says "which" is correct, another says "if we adds a stop mark after "the question", "what" will be correct. So who is right? Or none is correct? Is "I cannot answer the question which you say is very difficult" a double relative clause? Is "What you say is very difficult." a noun clause? Is the sentence correct in English grammar? Experts, please give me the answer soon. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. "I cannot answer the question. You say the question. It is very difficult." Here I have 3 sentences, after combining I have " I cannot answer the question which you say is very difficult." I mean double relative here, is it right?
