The incorrect element is the pronoun "them". The answer is (C) the pronoun "them" should be replaced by "him".

A pronoun is a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence. The pronoun "them" is always used to refer to a plural noun, while the pronouns "him" and "her" are always used to refer to a singular noun. As the pronoun that comes after "stopped" is replacing the noun "man" in the sentence, the use of the pronoun "them" is incorrect because "man" is a singular noun. In that way, "them" must be replaced by "him", a pronoun that can be used to refer to a male person.
