I didn't see any italics in the choices, but it seems that B is the correct answer. Do I get an "A+"? ;)

I see no italics, but the following are incorrect.
A. "Children" is plural, whereas "his" is singular
C. "Mary and Jill", plural, "her" is singular.
D. "Glasses", plural, "it" is singular.
B. Is correct tense in using "boys" and "their", both being plural.
