Correct Answer: who
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Who acts as a subjective pronoun, which is used to refer to a person. In this case, it is correctly used as a relative pronoun, as it functions as the subject of a relative clause, introducing additional information about the subject of the sentence. The other options are incorrect, as whom serves as an object of a verb or a preposition, whereas whose is the possessive form of the pronoun.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Dali had a brother named Salvador who was born nine months before him and died of gastroenteritis."
