The sentence that correct the pronoun errors is D. If people want to help their community, they should research opportunities.

Sentence D is the one that uses pronouns properly since the use of the noun people conveys a plural noun. Therefore, people agrees with the possessive adjective their and the personal pronoun they, which is the third-person plural.
