In reply to Cameron's irrational criticisms, his friend told Cameron that he should probably leave.
The trick is twofold; first, realizing that the first clause insinuates that Cameron's friend is going to reply, and second, realizing that Cameron isn't actually introduced in the first clause-- it's Cameron's irrational criticisms. With these two facts you can trivially reduce the answer to D.
A his friend told Cameron that he should probably leave
His friend; who's friend? There is no mention of Cameron.
B Cameron was told by his friend that he should probably leave
Cameron isn't replying to himself.
C his friend told Cameron that Cameron should probably leave
Again, no antecedent.
D Cameron's friend told Cameron that he should probably leave
Correct.
E his friend told him to leave probably
No antecedent.

Sorry guys for being late on this one.
OA is C .
This is OE:
Two pronouns are underlined: "his" and "he." "His" is fine because at this point in the sentence it can only refer to Cameron. However "he" is not correct because it could refer to either Cameron or his friend. You can therefore eliminate Choices (A), (B), and (D).
Choices (C) and (E) vary in a few respects, but focusing on one difference, is it more correct to say "he should probably leave" or "he should leave probably"? The first option is better, so eliminate (E).

...I'll go with D, most clear on pronoun reference and antecendent.
