Relative pronouns (who/whom, which, that) should come next to the noun they are modifying. In the test sentence, the relative pronoun is placed next to a verb.

The grammar section of the new SAT is pretty basic, so I don’t think you should look for any complicated rules. For example, on the old SAT II writing, you needed to know the use of who and whom, possesive with a gerund, subjunctive mood, etc. Those errors are no longer on the test.
