In my opinion, the answer would have to be both Éowyn and Merry. Éowyn would almost certainly have been killed had Merry not distracted the Witch King by stabbing him in the leg, but Merry almost certainly could not have finished the killing of the Witch King or have done any more damage at all. However, he gave Éowyn the opportunity to slay the Witch King. Each would have been doomed without the aid of the other.
