Solution

The correct option is B NO CHANGE
Since the reference is to an event, which means something inanimate, hence third person singular neuter pronoun "it" should be used. Therefore the sentence requires no change. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
