I think it is D because use of "whom" is for objective usage while "who" is for subjective use
Using those here is fine.

The action of bringing is being performed on somebody, so we need objective 'whom'.

I will pick A.

Sorry for a dumb question but does OA mean "Original Answer"?
Also, please confirm that IMO is "in my opinion".

C: to the ones

I am confused between A and D
