Among the options, the sentence that matches pronouns and antecedents correctly is:

C. My husband surprised me with a dozen roses on our anniversary.

  • An antecedent is the noun to which a pronoun refers. The pronoun substitutes the noun, so the two words must match when it comes to number and person of speech.
  • For example, if you are talking about a woman named Elizabeth, you should not use "it" or "he". The correct pronouns should be "she", "her", and "hers".
  • Letter A is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "she" to refer to the flower. The correct pronoun is "it".
  • Letter B is also incorrect because it uses "their" to talk about the cake. The correct pronoun is "its".
  • Letter C is the only correct option. It uses "our" to refer to the the speaker and her husband.
  • Letter D is incorrect, because it uses "it" to refer to the plural noun "flowers". It should use "them".
