The term pronoun-antecedent is the term for the agreement of a pronoun with its antecedent. Pronouns and antecedents must agree in number (singular or plural), person (first, second, or third person), and gender (male, female, neutral).
A pronoun that has the same gender and number as its antecedent is called pronoun-antecedent agreement.
The gender of the pronoun 'it' is neuter, a word that takes the place of a noun for a thing that has no gender.The number of the pronoun 'it' is singular, a word that takes the place of a noun for one thing.

The pronoun should agree in number with its antecedent.
"I told Sarah and her brother that she could come with us to the party."
"The cats played with their toys." "The dogs wagged their tails happily." In both sentences, the italicized pronoun "their" agrees in number with its antecedent ("cats" and "dogs" respectively), making them grammatically correct.
The team members wanted to improve their skills.
To determine the correct sentence, ensure the italicized pronoun matches the number (singular or plural) of its antecedent. For example, in the sentence "The team celebrated its victory," the singular pronoun "its" agrees with the singular antecedent "team." In contrast, a sentence like "The players celebrated their victory" uses the plural pronoun "their" to agree with the plural antecedent "players."
The sentence "Sarah and Jane are enjoying their vacation" is an example where the italicized pronoun "their" agrees in number with its antecedents "Sarah and Jane."
I'm happy to help you with that. However, it seems like there is a typo in your sentence. Could you please provide the correct sentence for me to analyze?
