Correct option is A
Option (a) contains a grammatical error.
Explanation:
The pronoun
“one” is singular and formal. It must be followed by
“one’s”, not
“their”, to maintain consistency.
Correct sentence: One must not boast about
one’s success.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Pronoun consistency:
If the subject is
“one”, any possessive or reflexive pronoun must also use “one” – not he, their, his, etc.
Example:
· Incorrect: One should improve
his habits.
· Correct: One should improve
one’s habits.
Information Booster:
In formal writing, mixing pronouns like "one" and "their" is grammatically incorrect.
