 Explanation (English):  

The word "Everyone" is singular, so it should be followed by a singular pronoun. Traditionally, "his or her" is used to match the singular subject "everyone." However, using "their" is becoming increasingly accepted in informal English, but Option C is the most grammatically correct form.

- Option A is incorrect: "his" alone excludes females, and this usage is outdated.

- Option B is grammatically incorrect in formal English because "their" is plural and "everyone" is singular, though this form is commonly accepted in informal usage.

- Option C is correct: "his or her" properly agrees with the singular subject "everyone."

- Option D is incorrect: While commonly used, "their" does not agree with the singular "everyone" in formal grammar.

 Explanation (Hindi):  

"Everyone" एकवचन होता है, इसलिए इसे एकवचन सर्वनाम के साथ होना चाहिए। परंपरागत रूप से "his or her" का उपयोग "everyone" के साथ सही रूप से मेल खाता है। हालांकि, "their" का उपयोग अनौपचारिक अंग्रेज़ी में आम हो रहा है, लेकिन विकल्प C व्याकरणिक रूप से सबसे सही है।

- विकल्प A गलत है: "his" केवल पुरुषों को दर्शाता है और यह पुराना रूप है।  

- विकल्प B व्याकरणिक रूप से औपचारिक अंग्रेज़ी में गलत है क्योंकि "their" बहुवचन है और "everyone" एकवचन। हालांकि, यह अनौपचारिक रूप से स्वीकार्य है।  

- विकल्प C सही है: "his or her" सही तरीके से "everyone" के साथ मेल खाता है।  

- विकल्प D गलत है: हालांकि इसका उपयोग आम है, लेकिन औपचारिक व्याकरण में "their" एकवचन "everyone" के साथ मेल नहीं खाता।

Example:

- Correct: Everyone must bring his or her own food to the picnic.  

- सही: प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को अपनी खुद की भोजन सामग्री पिकनिक में लानी चाहिए।
