Solution

The correct option is C the latter
The pronoun is used to replace a noun. Here, the nouns are 'Kate' and 'Becky' and the suitable pronoun to refer to the first noun is 'the former' and to refer to the second noun is 'the latter'. 'Her' can be confusing because 'Her' is the pronoun for both the nouns mentioned. Therefore, the correct option here is C) the latter.
