B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct pronoun is 'whom' because it functions as the object of the preposition 'for'. The structure is 'for whom', where whom is in the objective case. 'Who' is a subject pronoun, while 'whom' is an object pronoun. The test is to replace whom with 'him'/'them' (object forms) rather than 'he'/'they' (subject forms).
