can we use ''that'' in the blank?

Hi

When referring to a place, thing or idea use these relative pronouns:

(A place, thing or idea)-- Which, That

When using relative pronouns for places, things or ideas, rather than determining case, the writer must decide whether the information in the dependent clause is essential to the meaning of the dependent clause or simply additional information.

People from richer countries try to ignore the fact that [ or "that"] many people live in absolute poverty.- the second clause is a direct object clause.

that - relative pronoun

Hi


Note : You have to write "China" with capital letter.
1. None of them is correct.
The correct answer is : to what

2. In my opinion [a] is correct.

where- adverb of place [the place certain organisms lived]
when- adverb of time[the time certain organisms lived]
