Which is correct: their, his Should an antecedent of "everyone" take "their" or our"his" or "our" as its corresponding possessive pronoun?

I am still confused usingabout how to use the word everyoneeveryone. I have this sentence on a test. I:

Everyone wants to do their part.

Everyone wants to do his part.

Everyone wants to do our part.

I think the answer is their.
Everyone wants to do (their) (his)version with (our) parttheir.
