In reply to Cameron's irrational criticisms, his friend told Cameron that he should probably leave.
his friend told Cameron that he should probably leave
Cameron was told by his friend that he should probably leave
his friend told Cameron that Cameron should probably leave
Cameron's friend told Cameron that he should probably leave
his friend told him to leave probably
Two pronouns are underlined: "his" and "he." "His" is fine because at this point in the sentence it can only refer to Cameron. However "he" is not correct because it could refer to either Cameron or his friend. You can therefore eliminate Choices (1), (2), and (4).
Choices (3) and (5) vary in a few respects, but focusing on one difference, is it more correct to say "he should probably leave" or "he should leave probably"? The first option is better, so eliminate (5).
Choice (3) remains.
In reply to Cameron's irrational criticisms, his friend told Cameron that Cameron should probably leave. It sounds kind of clumsy, but it's the only correct option.
