Solution

The correct option is C he/it
The correct answer is Option E.
HE is used to refer to a masculine noun. DICKENS is a male. Thus HE is the correct answer.
HIS CHILDHOOD is a third person noun and thus IT is the correct pronoun to be used in place of the term. Also it is a singular noun.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: SHE is a feminine pronoun; THEM is a plural pronoun.
Option B: THEY is a plural pronoun.
Option C: HE is a masculine pronoun. US is a plural pronoun.
Option D: HIM is inappropriate in the given context. THEM is a plural pronoun.
