Who is or asks for the subject of a sentence while whom is or asks for an object:

Who gave you the money?
Whom gave you the money to?


In the first sentence somebody gave you some money.
In the second sentence you gave the money to somebody.

I'd suggest both answers are correct, however, "who" is used more in general verbal practice.
Notify me with explanation if I am wrong, thanks in advance!

Yes, I agree with you Xiao Lai but in the given sentence only 'who' is correct.

Dear Torsten,
Thanks for your quick response! Although you didn't give the explanation, you made me believe someone is always there. It's quite early in your residence, isn't it.
Anyway, I'll do more work in digging it out.
Thanks again!
