The sentence that contains a pronoun that is not in the proper case is:
D. The sudden protests against the mayor that erupted in the city caused friction between he and his closest advisors.
In this sentence, "he" should be replaced with "him" to be in the correct case (the object case). The correct phrase would be "between him and his closest advisors."
