The preacher said that everyone will burn in eternal damnation for their
sins.
(A) that everyone will burn in eternal damnation for their sins
(B) that everyone for his sins in eternal damnation will burn
(C) that everyone will burn in eternal damnation for his sins
(D) about everyone that they will burn in eternal damnation for
their sins
(E) that all of us should burn in eternal damnation for their sins

OA is C

A sin can be done by anyone, his or her, and hence I chose answer "D" as the possible correct answer had the option of only "his" as the sinner.
Please help me understand.
Thanks.

"His" has historically been the gender-neutral possessive pronoun for English.

That said, this is a terrible sentence, since the OA could also mean that everyone was going to burn for the preacher's sins. Yikes!

This is a terrible question. I would recommend re-looking what you are practicing from. This stuff (the kind of SC you posted) will not help you.
