A. Error: Pronoun "their" (plural) refers to subject "a person" (singular). These two must agree in number
B. CORRECT: "legacy" + noun (ei. "realization"); "their" (pronoun) agrees in number with "people" (multiple)
C. Error: "legacy" + to verb form; (legacy is a reference to something)
D. Error: "legacy" + to verb form; (legacy is a reference to something)
E. Error: "realizing" has a noun form "realization", which is the better use
