Answer:

D.he

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence lacks pronoun agreement because both clauses should refer to James. Therefore, the correct version should include the subject pronoun he in the second or result clause:

If James wants to run the company, he must make a good impression.

Thus, the sentence makes sense because it is James' responsibility to make a good impression if he intends to run the company.
