In the sentence you provided, the word "that's" should be corrected because it seems you meant to use a different word. However, based on the options given (whose, who's, who, whom), it appears there may be a misunderstanding, as none of those words are appropriate replacements for "that's" in this context.
“That's” is a contraction of "that is," and in this case, the sentence is structured correctly. If you're looking to clarify or change a specific part of the sentence regarding the bear's possession (e.g., the paw or injury), the correct word to use would depend on the intended meaning.
If you meant to reference the bear's paw in terms of possession, the correct form would be "whose." For example:
- "We saw a bear whose paw had been damaged by a hunting trap."
If that's what you were looking for, then "whose" is the correct choice for possession in your context.
