The sentence with an incorrect shift in pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

A. No one in the crowd had noticed the pickpocket stealing their wallet.

In this sentence, "No one" is a singular pronoun, so it should be followed by a singular pronoun (his or her) instead of the plural "their." The other sentences maintain correct pronoun-antecedent agreement.
