This "Grammar Review Question" asks:

_______________
" Which sentence is written in second-person point of view?"
The Answer: [A]: the only sentence using the "{impersonal} you "
as a 'second-person point of view.'

Also, this is the only answer—among the answer choices given, that uses: "you"—as a "single-subject pronoun."

[Note: As opposed to "you" meaning: "You all" ; or "You guys"; or "You party animals (over there)."].

Let us consider the other choices:

Choice: [B]: "After they became informed, they made their own decisions about genetically modified food."

This is incorrect; since: "they" is a "third person" subject pronoun;
and: "their" is a third-person, possessive pronoun.
We shall rule/out: "Choice: [B]."

Choice: [C]: "After she became informed, she made her own decision about genetically modified food."
This is incorrect; since "she" is a single-subject, third person pronoun"; [along with "he"— and: " it "] ; and: "her"— is the correctly corresponding; single-subject, third person, possessive pronoun.
We shall rule/out: "Choice: [C]."

Choice: [D]: "After I became informed, I made my own decision about genetically modified food."
This is incorrect; since: "I" is a first person, single-subject pronoun;

and: since "my" is the correctly corresponding "first-person, single-subject possessive pronoun.

We shall rule/out: "Choice: [D]."

The correct answer is: [A]:

{"After you become informed, you can make your own decision about genetically modified food."}.
