The statement "his shirt matched the color of the skirt" doesn't contain no antecedent.

Option (c);

EXPLANATION:

Antecedent means an event preceding another event or the one that comes before. In English grammar, antecedent refers to a noun that is replaced by a pronoun.

Option C is the statement that doesn't have a noun being replaced by a pronoun. In statement A, players are the antecedents whose happiness is coming on the face.

In statement B, Norm and his family are the antecedents. In statement D, scouts are the antecedents.
