Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct choice is "which" because it is used to introduce non-restrictive (or non-essential) clauses, and in this sentence, the clause "was left on the coffee table" is additional information that can be removed without changing the main meaning of the sentence. The use of "which" also requires a comma before it, as shown in the sentence.
