Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: When referring to people, we use "who". Additionally, the phrase "I thought" requires the use of "whom" to introduce a relative clause.
It is correct to use "whom" as it is the objective case of pronoun since girls refer to the object of the clause.
So, the correct sentence should be: "I met the two girls, whom I thought are identical twins."
