They're both grammatically fine. Who / whom is the object of the verb, so you can use either. Some may say than 'whom' is the only correct option. I find that a bit old-fashioned, I'd use 'who'.

Which is correct?
I think sentence 1
And what is the usage of who and whom?

The majority nowadays would use 'who' here, but some would say that 'whom' is still preferred in formal English.
