The pronouns what, which, and who are interrogative pronouns, words that take the place of a noun to introduce a question.

An interrogative pronoun usually takes the place of the noun or pronoun that is the answer to the question.

The pronouns which and who are also relative pronouns, words that introduce a relative clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence) giving information about its antecedent.

Example interrogative use:

What is the name of that actor?

Which would you like, cherry or vanilla?

Who left their boots in the hall?

Example relative use:

I'm waiting for the train which is late.

I gave my old bicycle to the man who lives next door.

Who, what. and which are interrogative pronouns and relative pronouns.

An interrogative pronoun introduces a question. The antecedent is usually the answer to the question. Examples:

Who did the laundry for me?

What would you like for dinner?

Which program shall we watch?

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, which is a group of words that includes a verb but is not a complete thought. The relative clause provides information about the antecedent. Examples:

The man who taught the class is new.

I hope the gift is what she wants.

I bought the brand which worked best in the past.
