Answer 2

The correct answer is "they"

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "team" is a collective noun in the singular form. As regards subject-verb agreement, when the word team is used to describe a group of people doing something, then the plural pronoun should be used.

In this case, the only alternative is "they" as it is referring to the antecedent "team".
