Correct answer: (A) Relative pronoun in accusative case

Explanation

Note: the official key gives (A). Inside its own clause ‘who’ is the subject of ‘came’, so by the usual rule it is in the nominative case (B). Its antecedent ‘the man’ is the object (accusative) of ‘employed’, which seems to be the basis of the key.
