The best option 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 gender-neutral singular pronoun that can refer to an individual whose gender is not specified.
