To determine the correct sentence in terms of pronoun and antecedent agreement, you need to make sure that the pronouns (he, she, they) match the antecedents (the brothers, the teachers, the neighbors) in terms of number (singular/plural) and gender. In this case, "the neighbors" is plural, so the pronoun "they" correctly agrees with the antecedent. Additionally, "their money" is plural, while "it" refers to the money, so this pronoun also matches its antecedent in terms of number.
