Solution

The correct option is B the former
The pronoun is used in place of a noun. Here, the nouns are 'Gina' and 'Lucy'. The suitable pronoun to refer to the first noun is 'the former' and that to refer to the second noun is 'the latter'. 'She' can be confusing because 'she' is the pronoun for both the nouns mentioned. Therefore, the correct option here is B) the former.
