Explanation

This part of the sentence has the error as here, ‘which’ is used in place of ‘who’. ‘Who’ is used in a non-restrictive clause if the subject is a human being. Otherwise, ‘which’ is used in non-restrictive clauses that tells us something interesting and incidental about a subject, but does not define a subject.
