Answer 1

The correct option is D Everyone

Indefinite pronouns refer to persons or things we do not know.

The sentence refers to some person. So, an indefinite pronoun ending with -body or -one must be used.

Someone is used to indicate an unspecified number of persons.

Everyone is used to indicate all persons.

Anyone is used to indicate

no matter who.

No one is used to indicate no single person.

Since in the given sentence all the people who were probably present are named, 'everyone' must be used.

Thus option D is the correct answer.

Options A,B,C are incorrect.
