Answer:

In this exercise, we must choose the correct Spanish subject pronoun. In order to understand this problem, let's provide the list of subject pronoun:

Yo - I

Tú - You

Él/ella - He/she

Nosotros - We

Vosotros - You (Informal)

Ustedes - You (formal)

Ellos/ellas - They (masculine) / They (feminine)

El Señor Díaz:

Addressing him: Usted

El Señor Díaz means Mr. Díaz, so you address him in a formal way. Hence use usted

Talking about him: él

If you talk about him, you use the third person singular él

___________________________

Jimena y Marissa:

Addressing him: Vosotras/ellas

In Spain it is common to use vosotras in informal way and ustedes in a formal way. In other Spanish speaking countries is common to use ustedes in both forms.

Talking about him: ellas

If you talk about them, you use the third person plural ellas
