since it immigrated
since he immigrated
since they immigrated
since him immigrated
since his immigrated

Explanation

Answer: B - Pablo is looking for a new home, since he immigrated to the United States last month. The pronoun antecedent is “Pablo.” The pronoun that refers to Pablo should be “he.” It is not referring to a state of ownership or possession. Additionally, Pablo is one man, so the pronoun “they” and “it” would be incorrectly referencing more than one person or an object.
