Choice A is incorrect because "everyone" is a singular pronoun and traditionally requires a singular possessive pronoun ("his or her") rather than the plural "their." However, it's worth noting that the use of "their" in such contexts is increasingly accepted in modern English as a singular, gender-neutral pronoun.
