As a result of a supernova explosion, every human being on Earth was bombarded on February 23, 1987, by about 100 billion neutrinos; fortunately, neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that interact very weakly with matter.

1. neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that
2. neutrinos, which are harmless, are elementary particles produced in nuclear reactions and which
3. neutrinos are harmless elementary particles produced in nuclear reactions and which
4. these harmless elementary particles are produced in nuclear reactions, and neutrinos
5. these elementary particles, harmless products of nuclear reactions, are neutrinos that

I am really confused between A and C
Why which can not be used in this case?
Please Help.

Hi kaudes11114,

Here's another way to think about the words "that" vs. "which"; its' about "specific" vs. "non-specific/vague"

Given a choice between those options, the word "that" is used to emphasize a specific noun.

eg. The student preferred to attend THAT school.

The word "which" is used to avoid specifics and keep an idea vague.

eg. The student wasn't sure WHICH day would be best for his GMAT exam.

Hi parveen110,

Since the sentence refers to a specific noun (neutrinos) and specific details about them (they're "harmless elementary particles" and they "interact very weakly with matter"), the word "that" fits (and "which" does not).

Final Answer: A

Manhattan guide states that the word that cannot refer to a plural antecedent.
Isn't it contrary to OA : A.

In this sentence, "that" is used as a relative pronoun to link the relative clause to the noun "particles". Since "particles" agrees with "are produced", it is fine.

I'm not sure what the Manhattan guide says, but it might be referring to using "that" as an adjective, in which case it must be used with a singular noun. That musician, not that musicians.
