A is the correct answer. In sentence B, you refers to Jacob. She refers to Carla in sentence C, and in sentence D, our is referenced to "family."

Hello there.

Correct answer is A.

Option B: this could not work. The underlined word is a personal pronoun, but it has a stated antedecent: Jacob, which is a vocative separated by a comma.

Option C: does not work. Carla said (that) she was leaving... "she" is preceded by a reported speech; a reporting verb: say.

Option D: this possesive pronoun "our" is preceded by more information.

Therefore, option A is the best one. "We" is suject the of the sentence, and it does not have anything written before it.

Hope this helps
