[spoiler]whom - for living things - A, E OUT
B & D - That coming for what - fourteen - if that is so...are incorrect; additionally, both cases the phrase do not quite modify language (fourteen is wht...unclear)
IMO C[/spoiler]

Thanks,
AO is C

Question to pnk:
Am I right that in this case 'forteen' is a singular noun?
