medals

Answer 2

What sounds right to you?

Answer 3

Think about this: The subject of this sentence is :"Everyone."
That's a plural subject. It's also in the third person.

Based from this information, which answers can you rule out? @urbanmorgans

Also, here's another suggestion. Try plugging in words in the blank. If it doesn't make sense, then move on to another.

For example: Everybody who participates in the boys' soccer camp must bring __my__ own lunch bag

Read the sentence like this..
Everybody must bring ____ own bag lunch.....this is basically your whole sentence

If everybody is singular...and 3rd person, then you would use the only pronoun that is 3rd person singular, which is "his"
