B

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the best answer. The subject "Success" is a singular abstract noun. The correct pronoun and verb combination is "it is."

Choice B is incorrect because "he" implies a person. Choice C is incorrect because "you" addresses the reader. Choice D is incorrect because "they" is plural.
