English term or phrase: which of the following, if any,
I'm having trouble with the phrasing/placement of this expression.

for example in "which of the following outside resources, if any, do you feel was most influential to you?"

would you translate:

"laquelle des ressources extérieures suivantes, au cas écheant, a eu la plus grande influence sur vous?

is it even necessary to add "au cas écheant"?

Thanks for your help!

agree  CHENOUMI (X): Tout à fait oui. J'allais dire que "le cas échéant" ne convient pas du tout ici, lorsque je me suis rendue compte qu'une sélection a déjà été faite.
