B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. This sentence lacks in pronoun agreement as ‘each student’ is singular and so, the pronoun must also be singular (his) and not plural (their). As a rule, the pronoun must agree with the number, gender and type of subject.
