Answer

The school is a location, so it must be A: where.

If you use C, you mean that your friend didn't go to that school, but instead examined that school.  You need to add "at" to make the clause mean the same as "where": "which my friend studied at".

One more thing: "Could someone explain me, please?" means YOU are they mystery which needs an explanation, not the grammar problem. Use "Could someone explain this to me, please?"

Answer

I couldn't answer better than Peachey. I must agree.
