Answer:

A. Dwight is a person who has trouble making up his mind.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pronoun is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Some examples of a pronoun are he, she, you, I, who, it, them, ours, etc.

In English language, a subject can be defined as the person, thing, idea or place that performs an action.

A subject-pronoun agreement refers to the situation in which there is an agreement between a subject and a pronoun in terms of number.

This ultimately implies that, if a subject is singular, its pronoun should also be singular and if the subject is plural, the pronoun must be plural.

Further, a pronoun referring to the singular subject should also be in singular form, so as to connote an agreement of words (concord).

Hence, the sentence which uses pronoun correctly is; Dwight is a person who has trouble making up his mind.
