The first is correct; the second uses 'inhabit' incorrectly. Inhabit is a transitive verb, that is to say, we inhabit a place; we do not inhabit in a place, so cannot say 'in which we inhabit'.

inhabit verb [ T often passive ]
C2

to live in a place:
These remote islands are inhabited only by birds.
