Well, firstly an antecedent is a thing or event that existed before or logically precedes another. So with that in mind, what specific options could we eliminate?

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

umm idk im guessing d or b ???

Atsie (atsie):

YASS! Good! You eliminated the correct ones! We wouldn't want A because its talking about the subject of the sentence, and we wouldn't want C either.

OpenStudy (litzyceron):

so d ???

Atsie (atsie):

So if we really thought about it, a personal pronoun reflects first person as in "I" second person as in "you" and third person as in “It, he, she.” So yes, D is right.
