The sentence with an incorrect shift in pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

A. Eleanor and Emma showed us her new dresses.

In this sentence, "Eleanor and Emma" is plural, but the pronoun "her" is singular. It should be "their" to match the plural antecedent. The correct version would be: "Eleanor and Emma showed us their new dresses."
