A pronoun is a word that can replace a noun.

Examples are it, he, she, they, and we.

A pronoun and its antecedent (the thing to which it refers) have to agree in number and person. For example, “a box of chocolates” could also be referred to as “it,” not “they/them” because “box” is a singular item, regardless of the number of chocolates inside of it.

The correct answer is (d).

Replace "it" with "house" and see if it makes sense.
