Short answer: "That" is used to introduce essential clauses or information, while the pronoun "which" is used to add non-essential or non-defining clauses. Also, these non-essential clauses are set off with commas.

Explanation:

First of all, the words "that" and "which" are both relative pronouns; this means, both introduce clauses that describe a noun previously mentioned. However, the pronoun "that" should be used only to introduce essential or defining clauses (information that cannot be omitted); for example "She is the woman that I love". On the other hand, the word "which" introduces information that is not essential or non-defining clauses; for example "The house, which is located near the sea, is stunning". Moreover, clauses introduced by which are set off in commas to show they are not essential.

LuckyWell [14K]
I guess its personal interest really. But if i had to take a wild guess i would say it is D. Why d is because its not really that interesting and stands out because it doesn't give that much detail for what its about. Like why did he retire or what season what is he coaching?

Digiron [165]
The correct answer is <span>(12) It was started in 2009 by actor Matt Damon and Gary White, the co-founder of Water partners. The word that should be capitalized is partners: Water Partners. The noun "partner" is normally a common noun, which means it shouldn't be capitalized in normal circumstances. However, here it represents the name of a company which is called Water Partners. It is just like with Warner Brothers (even though it's abbreviated as Warner Bros) - brothers is normally a common noun, but in this case, it is part of the company's name.</span>
