Answer
a. whom
Explanation
The correct word to use in this sentence depends on its grammatical function. "Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, while "who" is used as the subject of a verb. In the sentence "Rick Nash is the Employee __ the CEO asked to present to the board," the word in question is the object of the verb "asked." Therefore, "whom" is the correct choice.
