Answer: A Henry makes a pie every week because she loves it so much

Explanation: There should be an agreement in Gender.

Henry ... He

A pronoun must match its antecedent in gender. If the antecedent is feminine we use the pronouns she, her, and hers, and if it is masculine, we use the pronouns he, him, and his.
