Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: The correct answer is you.
Why:
The blank is part of a compound subject and therefore requires a nominative (subject) pronoun.
'you' is the nominative second-person pronoun that fits this position: "You, he and I shall prepare for the birthday party."
'our' is possessive and cannot act as the subject of 'shall prepare'.
'we' is a collective pronoun that would duplicate reference if combined with 'he and I' and changes the coordination; it does not correctly fill the blank in this phrasing.
Selecting 'I' would produce a duplicated first-person reference in the same subject list and is therefore not appropriate here.
Note: It is customary to place the first-person pronoun last for politeness (for example, "You, he and I" or "He, you and I"), but the important point for correctness here is using the nominative form 'you'.
Final sentence: You, he and I shall prepare for the birthday party.
