Is it possible to use "which" after "figure"?

[Mr Linguaphile]

___ which was characterized by supreme selfconfidence and great achievement.

A) The bombing of Dresden was widel critized
B) Henry VII was a typical Renaissance figure
C) The Great Pyramids were built in an age
D) The moon-landing gave rise to strange, new emotions
E) This climbing expedition in the Taurus mountains was a complete failure

Hi, the answer is C, but I wonder whether B could be correct too. Is it possible to use "which" after "figure" with the meaning in this question? Thanks.

None but C is possible. B would have to read 'who'.
