- Cwhomever must accept it.

Explanation
Part (c), 'whomever', contains the error. Within the clause 'whoever must accept it', the pronoun functions as the subject of the verb 'must accept', so the subjective-case form 'whoever' is required. 'Whomever' is the objective case, used only when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition. The preposition 'to' governs the entire clause, not the pronoun directly. Hence 'whomever' must be replaced with 'whoever', and option (C) is correct.
