A

C

D

Verified Answer :

The underlined pronoun used in the subordinate clause which is the word "who" is used as a, option A. Subject. The word who is used as a subject because it is the pronoun that refers to its antecedent, the word "woman". It is not used as a direct object because it is not the receiver of the action. Neither as an indirect object or object of a preposition.
