Solution

The correct option is A anyone
We use "anyone" to refer to both an open, unlimited set of things or people and specific things or people. We use it with a singular verb. Here we refer to an unlimited set of people who might ask about the speaker's absence. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
