which/what
Hello
We usually say “Thank you for what you have done for me”.Then how about "Thank you for which you have done for me" in the following Context?
He has helped me with my Math and you have helped me with my Physics.Thank you for which you have done for me.
Even so,I still feel "Thank you for which you have done for me" is a little bit unnatural.Do you think so? Thanks.

I have a green pen and a blue pen.
I don't know which (one) you want to choose.
Which (one) do you like?
