Explanation
In the original sentence, “Coach Davis knew that Luz would get better,” the name Luz is repeated where the pronoun “she” can refer back to her. Choice A corrects the pronoun-antecedent agreement by using “she” to refer to Luz, a singular person. The other choices replace pronouns with repeated names or a possessive name; they do not correct the pronoun-antecedent issue.
