Answer:

A. Some students decided they wanted a garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pronoun usually refers to a noun or another pronoun called its antecedent. Whenever you use a pronoun, make sure that it agrees with its antecedent.

In the first sentence, the pronoun they agrees with its antecedent, students. They are both plural.
