Why not option A ?

Ya. It can be option A. I think C is not the apt one. Please verify the answer.

@All
Option 'A' CANNOT be the correct answer. Because, the sentence starts with "Anyone" (a single person). So "he or she" should be used for further specification.
If the sentence starts with "Somebody" instead of "Anyone", then we say use option A as the correct answer.
Hope this help you. Have a nice day!

Here any one represents a singular which always carries a singular verb so definitely the answer is.
"Anyone interested in the use of computers can learn much if he or she access to a personal computer".
"Anyone interested in the use of computers can learn much if he or she access to a personal computer".

Sundar you are saying single person. So why answer is D?

Because here we are not talking about any specific person. Anyone could be anyone.
Option D implies only one person having the access. It does not generalize with the statement.

I am quite sure about this being A. As explanations before. They cannot be ruled out. For they can be used sometimes as singular to like:
"The patient should be told at the outset how much they will be required to pay" (source of wikipedia).
"The patient should be told at the outset how much they will be required to pay" (source of wikipedia).
