Bonjour,
erreurs en bleu, corrections en vert.
Une recherche sur group who ou group which donne:
Using who, that and which are all grammatical.
As for which version is preferred: a Google News search for "group that" yields 3 millions hits. "Group which," 1.5 million. And "group who," 125,000.
So writers clearly prefer that and which for group. That makes sense: I think that most speakers conceptualize group as a singular nonhuman entity even if that group is made up of humans.
