'Why I want to be' simply makes no sense, Isram, outside of a philosophical discussion. 'What I want to be' means 'what career I want to pursue'.

This is ......... I want to be when I grow up.
(a) why
(b) when
(c) which
(d) what
I picked "which" because I thought it mean somewhere. Please explain to me. |

You would have to use a noun after 'which' as in for example:
This is which job I want.
