Anyone wishing to enroll in the programme should send in there applications before the end of this month.
send in their applications
The original sentence has a pronoun-number agreement error. "Anyone" is a singular indefinite pronoun, but "there applications" is plural. The correct pronoun to use with "anyone" should be a singular possessive pronoun ("their" in modern English grammar, despite what some style guides might suggest) or it should be rephrased as "his or her applications" to agree in number and gender.
Option 3, "send in their applications," correctly uses the plural pronoun "their" to agree with the implied plural subject of the applications submitted by multiple people. Therefore, it improves the sentence.
Option 1 ("send in her application") and Option 2 ("send her application in") are incorrect because they use the singular pronoun "her," implying only one person is applying, which doesn't match the meaning of "anyone wishing to enroll."
Option 4 ("No improvement") is therefore incorrect because a significant grammatical correction is needed.
