One legacy of Medisson

Hi All,

In the below question of OG-10, Q84. OG says to kick out "C", "D" and "E" is that

"C, D, E can be faulted for failing to complete the construction One legacy.....is....with a noun that matches the noun legacy.".

Can someone please help me understand why noun should follow noun as suggested by OG.....

One legacy of Madison Avenue’s recent campaign to appeal to people fifty years old and over is the realization that as a person ages, their concerns change as well.
(A) the realization that as a person ages, their
(B) the realization that as people age, their
(C) to realize that when a person ages, his or her
(D) to realize that when people age, their
(E) realizing that as people age, their

OA is[spoiler] "B".[/spoiler]

IMO B

because one legacy (noun).....is the realization (noun)

in A singular person is referred by plural pronoun their
