Acai berry is not a noun.. its in a prepositional phrase.. how can "it" refer to Acai Berry's ... it should refer to antioxidant..

Hello desertEagle,
We hope this finds you well.
To clarify, there is no reason why a pronoun cannot refer to a noun that is part of a prepositional phrase.
We hope this helps.
All the best!

If you are referring to option (A), the use of 'it' is not a problem there. There is only one singular noun used before 'it' and that is 'acai berry.' So 'it' does refer to it, even if it is used in the prepositional phrase. We do it routinely.
e.g.
The pages of the book are old and mouldy, suggesting that it was published many years ago.
'it' certainly refers to the book.
It is also ok for a subject/object pronoun to have a possessive antecedent when other options have obvious errors. Pronoun reference is fairly flexible so if the meaning is clear, do not eliminate options based on it.

In option D, it does not have a referant. Only possessive antioxidants is there. Is this usage correct? Normally, I have seen no referant is an issue in GMAT.
