Answer 1

The correct option is A they/them

The correct answer is Option A.

THEY is used a third person plural pronoun. THE HIGH PRICES is a plural noun. THE POOR is also plural, thus THEM is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect:

IT is a singular pronoun.

YOU is a second person pronoun.

HER is a feminine pronoun.

BE/HIM are irrelevant in the given sentence.
