Explanation

The phrase “when he was in high school” is unclear because “he” could refer to Andrew or his uncle. Choice B makes clear that Andrew was in high school when he told the speaker about his uncle. The other choices either change who was the veteran, leave the pronoun unclear, or use “myself” incorrectly.
