b.) Whom  Es muy formal y se emplea en lenguaje escríto, no siendo muy habitual su uso en lenguaje hablado..
c.) Whose  expresa posesión y pertenencia y se refiere únicamente a personas,  (también excepcionalmente a animales y a nombres colectivos).

d.) Which se emplea como sujeto y como complemento y se refiere solamente a cosas o animales:

- Diferencia entre who y that -
Generalmente, es indiferente usar 'who' y 'that'. Sin embargo, existen diferencias entre ambos que hacen más apropiado el uso de uno u otro pronombre dependiendo de si se está identificando o no al sujeto.
Where is the girl (who / that) sells the ice cream? / ¿Dónde está la chica que vende el helado? (ambos usos, 'who' y 'that' son correctos)
This is Carol, who sells the ice cream / Ésta es Carol, la cual vende el helado.
This is Carol, that sells the ice cream (uso inadecuado de 'that')
'That' normalmente no puede ir precedido de una preposición
Después de superlativos y pronombres indefinidos debemos emplear 'that' en lugar de 'who'
It's the best film that I've ever seen / Es la mejor película que he visto nunca.
It's something that makes him cry / Es algo que le hace llorar..

3.
Con that, la preposición se ubica siempre al final: 
I bought the book that you told me about
, compré el libro del cual me hablaste.
