This is similar to 13 or 14, I don't remember which number, but the one with the presenters and the notes. So, I would suggest 16 a.
The correct answer is b. The antecedent is ANYONE, so the pronoun must must also be singular.
Sorry, I haven't done grammar in years! :)
You've been doing pretty well, though, LC. :-)
