First of all, it should be understood that "who" or "whom" are pronouns which take the places of a noun, but the difference is if it replaces the subject or the object of a sentence. "Who" refers to the subject, "Whom" refers to the object. In your examples, only #4 uses "whom" correctly as an object of a sentence ("she" is the subject). The other sentences are technically incorrect, but usually accepted as correct speech.

To check your usage, substitute the personal pronoun “he/him” or “she/her” for “who/whom.” If he or she would be the correct form, the proper choice is who.” If “him” or “her” would be correct, use “whom.”
