D. When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.


An antecedent, by definition, is a word or a phrase that is referred to by an element that follows it in the same sentence or paragraph, typically. When we look at item “D,” we are left with the question: “What will be exciting?” Because “it” could be anything, it is safe to say that the antecedent is missing.
