Can anyone please explain what is wrong with the possessive pronoun "their"? As far us I understand, possessive pronoun can refer non possessive noun, "one".
In that case, what is wrong with option D?

In traditional / formal writing, once a sentence uses the indefinite pronoun one, it must continue to use the same pronoun (or its supplementary forms one's, oneself). It is considered incorrect to replace it with another pronoun.

Please review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_(pronoun) for more exhaustive coverage.
