Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct answer is the third option: "he."

This option is correct because "he" is a subjective pronoun, a third-person singular pronoun, and it agrees in gender and number with the singular part of the subject, which is "himself".

You : This option is not correct because " you " is a second-person pronoun, and it does not agree with the subject of the sentence.

She : " She " is a third-person singular pronoun, and it does not agree with the masculine gender (his).

The sentence should be: "Both he and his relations will be invited."
