Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B if I'm reading the question correctly. The pronoun she has an acceptable reference: there is only one woman in the previous sentence and that is Dr. Ellen Ochoa.

Her name need not be repeated and she should never be referenced as Ellen because this is not a friendly personal letter. The two statements are statements of facts.
