Correct Answer: their criticism in heart.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The use of "their" suggests a plural antecedent, when referring to individual members of the jury, the correct pronoun "their" is to be used. The error lies in the use of the preposition "in"."Take to heart" is an idiomatic expression that means to be deeply affected by something.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The jury was not happy with the performance, and was quite harsh. The singer took their criticism to heart."
