Answer:

sentence 2

Explanation:

Pronoun-antecedent agreement refers to the correspondence between a singular noun (or antecedent) and a singular pronoun, or a plural noun and a plural pronoun. Therein, in the sentence, the singular noun phrase an enslaved person does not match with the plural pronoun their. As a result, the revised version of the sentence would be:  

It was common for an enslaved person to stop there  on his or her way to the North.
