"Both sisters said they wanted to help."
Explanation:
- "Both sisters" is plural and matches the plural pronoun "they" — correct.
- "The students finished his test..." is incorrect (plural subject, singular "his").
- "The cat drank their water..." is incorrect (singular subject, plural "their"; use "its").
- "A person should always do their best." — singular "their" is widely accepted as gender-neutral, but some style guides prefer "his or her" for strict agreement.
