E Correct answer
Explanation

(5) is grammatically the most correct option. (1) is incorrect because pronoun 'their' is used to refer to living things. (2) is incorrect because pronoun 'those' is used to refer to plural items but the antecedent (event organizing committee) is singular. (3) is incorrect because 'some' is redundant here. (4) is incorrect because usage of 'any' conveys that all the food arrangements made by the committee are great.
