Bat doesn't belong in this group

Janice: The answer is wrong and has a syntactic problem:

“belong” is a verb that selects the preposition “to” to form a phrasal verb: “Belong to”.

Maria José:
The answer is correct, but there are to mistakes in your answer:

1. "who" is a relative pronoun used after [+ human] subjects.
2. “belong” is a verb that selects the preposition “to” to form a phrasal verb: “Belong to”.
