    The best answer as to what is wrong with the pronoun is:

    C) no specific antecedent

    Explanation:

    In the sentence "If the driver hits another car in a moving violation, the cost of your insurance will go up," the pronoun "your" is incorrectly used. It has no specific antecedent, or a missing antecedent. As we know, pronouns are supposed to replace nouns in a sentence, and their antecedent should always be clear - except for the indefinite pronouns, such as anyone or something. In this sentence, there is no mention to a second-person pronoun to which the possessive "your" could refer. Thus, is has no specific antecedent.

    Note: an ambiguous pronoun is one that has two or more possible antecedents, which makes the sentence unclear.
