Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
She met my cousin, whose she later married.

  1. A
    whom she later married
  2. B
    she later married
  3. C
    which she later married
  4. D
    No substitution required

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The underlined part uses the possessive relative pronoun "whose", which is incorrect because the relative pronoun acts as the object of the verb "married". Since "cousin" refers to a person and is the objective element in the relative clause, the objective relative pronoun "whom" should be used. Therefore, "whom she later married" is the correct substitution.
