Correct Answer: their success


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

One is a singular indefinite pronoun, so the possessive pronoun should match it in singular form. Thus, their should be replaced with one's to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: One must not boast about one's success.
