Answer : 4. "whom were"
Explanation :
The correct sentence should be:
There were ten children in the class, six of whom were crying.
Explanation: In the original sentence, "which" is incorrect because it refers to things, not people. Instead, "whom" should be used to refer to the children, and the verb "was" should be corrected to "were" to agree with the plural subject "six children."
