a. where b. in which c. which in d. that
"That " is the correct answer but, why can �t where or in which be correct ? Can someone please explain ?
Thank you in advance !!!

That �s because of the last word in your sentence - IN.
You can NEVER say "in which in" (too many prepositions) or "in where".
But you CAN say "that I keep tablecloths in". OR "which I keep tablecloths in".
Have a nice day :)
