Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct in formal, traditional English?

AWho you did meet at the party?
BWhom did you meet at the party?
CWhom you did meet at the party?
DWho did you meet at the party?

Explanation

In formal, traditional grammar, ‘whom’ is used when the pronoun functions as the object of a verb, while ‘who’ is reserved for the subject of a clause. In this sentence, ‘you’ is the subject performing the action of meeting, while the person met is the object, so the object pronoun ‘whom’ is the technically correct choice in formal English, even though ‘who’ is very common in everyday, informal speech.
