that :we use it to define things :

for Exp; I wear the coat that my father gave me

we can also use which  to define things

who : we use it for person or people

for Exp;i saw the man who doesn't have a job.

so in your sentence we dont have choices to use that or who ,but we have to use who because we define a person
