Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
"One of the hotel guests" is singular, so the correct pronoun to use is "her" to match with the singular subject. "She" and "their" are both incorrect because "she" is singular and does not match with the phrase "hotel guests" and "their" is plural and does not match with the singular subject.
