c? this type of stuff confuses me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is D because it says it and we don't know what it means

OpenStudy (january123):

An antecedent is the noun that a pronoun replaces in a sentence. In sentence c, it says, "He told my brother...." This is unclear because we do not know who "he" is.
