D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'his or her' - when referring to a singular gender-neutral noun like 'teacher', the formally correct pronoun is 'his or her' to maintain both singular number and gender inclusivity. While 'their' is common in informal usage, formal grammar requires the singular construction.
