The correct answer that would complete the given sentence above would be option C. The personal pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is "he". The complete sentence would be: The pitcher for our team will be either he or Jake. The pronoun "he" is one of the subjective pronouns along with I, she, it, they, and we. Since "he or Jake" is the one being talked about in the sentence, we use the pronoun "he". Him is a predicate pronoun while "his" is possessive.
