The impact of this training requirement will be measured by the number of new CBP Officers who successfully complete the probationary period.
The impact that this training requirement has will be measured by the number of new CBP Officers who successfully complete the probationary period.
The impact of this training requirement will be measured by the number of new CBP Officers which successfully complete the probationary period.
The impact that this training requirement has will be measured by the number of new CBP Officers which successfully complete the probationary period.

The correct answer is: The impact of this training requirement will be measured by the number of new CBP Officers who successfully complete the probationary period.

The chosen sentence exemplifies correct grammar and adheres to formal report standards by clearly stating the impact of the training requirement in a straightforward manner. It selects appropriate grammatical structures and ensures clarity in conveying the intended message about measuring the impact based on a specific criterion—new CBP Officers successfully completing the probationary period. The sentence uses "impact of" effectively, maintaining a direct relationship between the subject and the action being described. Additionally, it correctly employs "who" to refer to the new officers, aligning with standard usage in defining a group of people. This choice contributes to the formal tone expected in report writing. In contrast, the other sentences either introduce unnecessary complexity or use incorrect pronouns for referring to people. For instance, the use of "which" to refer to officers is incorrect, as "which" is typically reserved for objects or things, not individuals. The addition of "that" in other options complicates the sentence structure without enhancing clarity. Therefore, sentence A stands out as the most effective choice for conveying the intended message concisely and correctly.
