B Correct answer
Explanation

Error of sentence formation. The sentence implies that every person who is able bodied is eligible. 'Any' is a negative word, and needs to replace with positive words like 'each' or 'every'. Though 'every' is a better choice, but in its absence from the option list, 'each' seems to be the correct option.
