Which word belongs in the blank?
A.
his
B.
her
C.
their
D.
they

Answer 1

The correct word to fill in the blank is **C. their**.

The sentence would read: "Each contestant in the men's wrestling tournament will need to bring their registration form to the front desk on the day of competition."

Using "their" is appropriate here as it is a singular, gender-neutral pronoun that can refer to "each contestant".
