I know "it" and "that" both can be used as pronoun and can be used to refer to a situation mentioned already or known. what is the difference between them? for example,in this sentence which one is better? Mum told Jim not to play football in the street ,but ___ didn't help. A. it B. that Thanks!

Either is OK. That didn't help is a little stronger.
