Correct Answer: which I have seen it yesterday


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation:
In this context, the use of both which and it creates redundancy and is grammatically incorrect. When using which as a relative pronoun, it introduces a clause that provides additional information about the noun it modifies. Moreover "have seen" should be replaced with "saw" as it is the past action

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Many of my friends spoke highly of a film which I saw yesterday .
