The best answer to this question would be, "Whom would you like to invite to the party?". Whom is an objective pronoun.

The answer is indeed "Whom would you like to invite to the party?"

"Whom" cannot be used as the subject of a sentence. That is exactly what happens in the other options. They would be correct if "whom" were replaced by "who":

1. She is the one who will be throwing the party. ("who" is the subject of "will be throwing")

3. Do you know whom will be going to the party? ("who" is the subject of "will be going")

4. Who will drive me to the party? ("who" is the subject of "will drive")

In the sentence "Whom would you like to invite to the party?", "whom" is not acting as the subject for the verbs, but as their object. The subject is, actually, "you".
