Đáp án A

Kiến thức về đại từ quan hệ

Đại từ quan hệ “where" dùng để chỉ nơi chốn.

Đại từ quan hệ “ which, that” đều thay thế cho từ/ cụm từ chỉ vật. Tuy nhiên, khi trong câu xuất hiện dấu phẩy thì sau dấu phẩy không thể dùng “that".

Đại từ quan hệ " who” dùng để chỉ người.

Tạm dịch: "They were primarily interested in the social dimensions of Facebook, (26) which they divided into two categories: direct and indirect actions.” (Họ chủ yếu quan tâm đến các khía cạnh xã hội của Facebook, họ chia thành hai loại: hành động trực tiếp và gián tiếp.
