Aside the logic beneath the versions, this is a test of pronoun reference. When you accept that the subject of the second sentence as ‘they’, then you have to have a plural subject for the same, in the form of Brad and his dad, which is there only in B. All other choices lack a plural subject. In E, the singular pronoun 'it' can not logically refer to a human being, Brad.

But even B is not so elegantly written with inappropriate use of progressive tense for events that could be explained better with simple past.
