I agree, it's the second sentence...
when you use this kind of verb form / idiom (i.e. pick up), the third-person pronoun is usually 'sandwiched' between these two words, thus:
pick up = pick HER up
shake up = shake THEM up
break down = break IT down.
etc...

Hello Latifa,
It depends thoroughly on the context.
'to pick her up' will be the first thing to come to one's mind.
In another context where 'pick' means to 'choose' ,"to pick someone to do something" , " to pick her" could be used as well.
