Answered by Mimiwhatsup: D. Carla

Source: "In grammar, an antecedent is an expression that gives its meaning to a proform. A proform takes its meaning from its antecedent, e.g. "Ava arrived late because traffic held her up". The pronoun her refers to and takes its meaning from Ava, so Ava is the antecedent of her." (Wikipedia)
