To find the correct answer, we need to understand the subject and the gender-neutral pronoun for "everybody" in this sentence.
The subject "everybody" refers to a group of people, and it is considered a gender-neutral pronoun. Therefore, we should use a pronoun that does not specify a gender.
Option A, "its," is incorrect because "its" is used for inanimate objects, not for people.
Option B, "his or her," is a good choice because it is gender-neutral and includes both male and female individuals.
Option C, "their," is also a gender-neutral pronoun and can be used to refer to a group of people.
Option D, "they're," is incorrect because "they're" is a contraction of "they are" and cannot be used in this context.
Based on this analysis, both options B, "his or her," and C, "their," are correct. Therefore, your assumption is correct.
