Correct answer: C. Not everyone

- D. Somebody
Explanation
This sentence refers to the lack of people having knowledge of a topic. 'Anyone 'means any person or people. 'Many persons' in pronunciation, sounds incorrect. 'Somebody ' means someone and in this case, it is not a specific person but a group of people. Hence 'not everyone' makes the most grammatical sense.
