'Anyone' CAN be either singular, or plural referring to a single other person, or many other people, therefore option A is also correct.

@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!

Anyone is the singular that's why we should use has instead of have.

@Sanath.
In modern English, 'they' is also used for the singular, in case gender is unknown.

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

Option A can't be the answer.
Because the speaker is talking to everyone present there it is a happening action. If you have access is correct then use them.
