I don't know __________.
Answer: B
The correct completion is whom I can trust: I don't know whom I can trust.
In the clause, I is the subject and the pronoun is the object of trust (I can trust him), so the formal object form whom is required.
'Who I can trust' is common in speech but uses the subject form where an object is needed, which the exam treats as an error. 'How can I trust' keeps question word order inside a reported clause (it should be 'how I can trust') and also leaves trust without an object. 'To who I can trust' adds a preposition the verb does not take, and uses who after it.
