Hi! The relative pronoun here has to be "which" because it refers to "TV". It would be different if the sentence was "Many teenagers have tv sets in their bedrooms where they watch TV for up to three hours a day." Here, "where", would be referring to the place where they watch TV and not to what they watch. |

the meaning of the sentence will be awkward if you choose "which" as the right answer. After all, we watch TV and not tv sets |

I definitely disagree with gharbi2009. The sentence sounds completely natural and clear with "which". Bruce |
