Antecedent

In the given sentence, the vague antecedent 'he' to refer to the plural pronoun puzzles the meaning communicated by the sentence.

This causes the need for changing it with the name of who actually undertook the action so that the ambiguity and obscurity can be erased and the meaning remains precise and clear.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
