OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
It is important for one to park their car in a designated parking spot.
A. their car in a designated parking spot
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect: the pronoun their refers to one but does not agree with it as one is singular and their is plural.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
- Example: One must care for one's hair.
What helps us identify this question as a Pronoun question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it
B. one's car in a designated spot for parking
Although this answer choice corrects the original Pronoun mistake by replacing the pronoun their with one's, it is still stylistically flawed. Replacing the two-word phrase parking spot with the three-word phrase spot for parking creates redundancy.
C. his car in a designated parking spot
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original Pronoun mistake. The pronoun his can refer to human male nouns, but there's no such noun in the sentence.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
- Example: One must care for one's hair.

CORRECT
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
E. her car in a designated parking spot
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect and repeats the original Pronoun mistake. The pronoun her can refer to human female nouns, but there's no such noun in the sentence.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
- Example: One must care for one's hair.
