The answer is:  [D]:
_____________________________________________________
        "The audience left its {sic} seats after curtain call."
____________________________________________________
The sentence should be corrected and rewritten as:
____________________________________________________
        "The audience left their seats after curtain call."
____________________________________________________
Note:  The subject of the sentence—"audience"—functions as a 'collective noun'—and should be treated as "the members of the audience".

The correct answer is the following:<em> option D. "The audience left its seats after curtain call." is the sentence that has a pronoun usage error. </em> The  correct form of the sentence would be: "The audience left <em>their </em>seats after curtain call." A pronoun is a word used to replace a noun within a sentence, in order to avoid repetition. In the example shown, the noun that is going to be replaced is "audience". An audience is defined as assembled spectators or listeners at a public event. The correct pronoun to replace "audience" is "their" as, in this case, it is replacing a collective noun. As the audience has multiple spectators, there are going to be multiple seats for each of them, so the noun is taken as a plural one, therefore the use of the pronoun "its" is incorrect.
