Resolução comentada
Lacuna 24: 'what' introduz a oração substantiva ('o que ela realmente queria').
Em 'decide that ___ I really wanted to do was an engineering degree', 'what' equivale a 'a coisa que' e funciona como objeto de 'do'. Por isso 'what' é o correto.
Análise das alternativas
A (as) e B (if) não funcionam como pronome com essa função. C (mainly) e D (inward) são advérbios e não introduzem a oração.
