Solution

The correct option is B anyone
An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that refers to non-specific beings, objects, or places.
In the given sentence the pronoun must be a singular pronoun as the verb used is a singular verb.
Since a person in being referred to, we can eliminate options C and D as incorrect answers.
'Someone' refers to some person, and that person is specific, even though it may not be known, while "anyone" refers to some person, and all people are equally interchangeable as said individual.
As in the given sentence no specific person is being referred to, we must use 'anyone'.
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect.
