Hmmm. The apostrophe in A is misplaced (assuming the teacher has more than one pupil) but they all seem to have in common the use of 'they' as an alternative to 'his or her' or 'he or she'. I don't see anything wrong in that though I'm not sure what the official line is.

(C) is wrong because you have used the word "movie".
