Answer:

Relative pronoun

Step-by-step explanation:

Whom is the object form of who and its use is more common in formal written English. It is used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. As a result, it is also possible to replace him or her with whom. For example:

I don't know with whom I will go to the party.

To whom did the teacher speak?

By whom is the tour guided?
