D. I chose the player who ran fastest, but the other captain wanted the one with the hardest kick.

What is a restrictive clause?A restrictive clause is a type of relative clause, which means it begins with a relative pronoun such as "who" or "which". Its purpose is to provide essential information about a noun or a noun phrase.A very important fact about restrictive clauses is that they are NOT set off by commas. Relative clauses that are nonrestrictive are set off by commas, and that is what differentiates them from restrictive ones.With the information above in mind, we can easily choose letter D as the correct option. Notice that the relative clauses in letters A, B, and C are all set off by commas. However, in letter D, the relative clause "who ran fastest" is not. Therefore, it is a restrictive clause.
