Correct Answer: An old man whom
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
The relative pronoun "whom" is used for the object of a verb and in this case, "who" should be used because it is the subject of the verb "met".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "An old man who we met while coming back from our college lives at my uncle’s place."
