Great question here.
Subject pronouns (he, she, who...) are used to replace the subject in the sentence. You can identify the subject because it is the thing which is DOING the action:
He works at the store.
She loves to swim.
Who is going to the party?
The object form (her, his, whom...) replaces a noun when that noun is the object of the verb (i.e. it is having the action done TO it.
I am going to her party. (I am the one going; "her" does not have its own verb.)
I told him the secret. (I am the one doing the telling; I just told the secret to "him" but the "him" does not have its own verb.)
To whom should I send the letter? (I am sending the letter TO "whom" but "whom" doesn't have its own verb.)
Does this help?

In this given question she is as much a subject as Mr. Baumgardner, both of whom are again part of the main subject all of the tenants. The element of object can normally arrive only after the verb has been stated.Since the she has been placed ahead of the verb, it is correct to assume that she is a subject pronoun.
Now let us look at the following example
Everybody except him came
Every body came except him
Are both the same? Obviously they are not.
In the first case, we have to say - everybody except he came, because he is part of the subject and is placed before the verb.
In the second case except him comes after the verb and is the object of the verb and hence the object case him has to be used.
Well!, English is so diverse that still one may find an odd case going against the grain of custom., but I am talking about the general norm here.
Of course what the antecedent of she is in the given example, GOK, as per which all of the given choices are flawed IMO.
