选项 A、which
B、where
C、here
D、there
答案B
解析 此空要填非限定性定语从句的引导词。非限定性定语从句的作用是对所修饰的成分做进一步说明，通常有引导词，且和主句间用逗号隔开。例如：The southern states wanted to set up a country of their own，where they would be free to keep black slaves．(南方各州要建立一个属于他们自己的国家，在那里他们将自由地保留黑人奴隶。)由于前面的先行词the bomb room表示地点，所以此处需要一个表示地点的关系副词where，整个非限定性定语从句修饰bomb room，表示弹药房就是黄金所在地，故选B。
