The correct answer is C. Antecedent

Step-by-step explanation:

In grammar, a personal pronoun is a type of pronoun that refers to a noun and therefore can replace it, this includes words such as he, she, you, I, they. In sentences, pronouns can act as subjects or indirect objects but also are commonly used to replace nouns previously mentioned and avoid repetition, in this cases, it is said the pronoun replaces the noun that is known as the antecedent. For example, in the case of "Jane loves reading books. She read 20 books last summer" the personal pronoun "she" replaces or refers back to the antecedent and noun "Jane". According to this, the personal pronoun usually refers to the antecedent.
