Correct Answer: No substitution required


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The sentence is grammatically correct as it is, and there is no need to substitute the underlined segment. The former and the latter correctly refer to the preceding individuals (Raima and Saima) in the sentence. This structure avoids repeating their names and clarifies which quality (intelligence or beauty) each person possesses.

Hence, there is no substitution required .
