Detailed Solution

Words used as substitutes for nouns or noun phrases in a sentence are called Pronouns, and there are eight types of them-Indefinite, Personal, Reflexive, Possessive, Demonstrative, Relative, Interrogative, and Emphatic. Option A is an example of an indefinite pronoun, as no specific person or object is referred to here. Option B is clearly a relative pronoun.
