B. "Who" and "whom" are personal pronouns.

Who is a subject pronoun but never a personal pronouns since it doesn’t denote to a particular person, gender, event or case.

All three statements regarding 'who' and 'whom' are true. 'Whom' is an object pronoun, 'who' and 'whom' are personal pronouns, and 'who' is a subject pronoun. Thus, the question does not present a false statement among the options.
