Carpenters, dentists, sewing machine operators, needlepointers, piano players, and indeed anyone who works with their hands for long hours can get carpal tunnel syndrome.

(A) anyone who works
(B) anyone working
(C) workers
(D) those for whom work is
(E) any people who work

OA after sometime!
Please explain your pick

D

I chose it since any people represent plural which is required for the helping verb "have"

It has to be either A or B.

A fits in well, according to me.

It is a close call, to me A looks better when I speak it. B somehow creates some parallelism issues. Difficult to explain, more to do with instincts.

What is the OA?

till the time expert pick this up, here is my try:

Carpenters, dentists, sewing machine operators, needlepointers, piano players, and indeed anyone who works with their hands for long hours can get carpal tunnel syndrome.

(A) anyone who works: underline red portion tells that we need plural here. Option A out
(B) anyone working : Same reason as A. Out!
(C) workers: Why workers now? Sewing machine operators, needlepointers are not workers?
(D) those for whom work is: Ambiguous meaning
(E) any people who work: Left out....Well this was certainly confusing that's why it took extra time.
