The sentence with a pronoun error is the following one: An apprentice can learn how to do a trade from their master. The subject of the sentence, "An apprentice" is singular and should be matched with a singular pronoun--"his" or "her" instead of "their." The sentence should read, "An apprentice can learn how to do a trade from his master."

so your answer would be D
