Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct option is the third option.
The original sentence has a mistake with respect to pronouns. It uses "there" to refer to the plural noun "applications" which is incorrect . "There" is used for places, whereas "their" is used for persons. The correct choice is to use "their" to match the pronoun "anyone" as per the gender-neutral rule.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Anyone wishing to enrol in the programme should send in their applications before the end of this month."
