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?

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.

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.
