Β 

There are many different indefinite pronouns; which one we use depends on whether we are representing a noun that is a person or thing, and whether that noun is singular or plural.

Everyone refers to all people in a general sense, without specifying who they are. It implies that the speaker is asking about the presence of all individuals in the group, without identifying them individually.

Whatever refers to any choice or decision the person might make, without specifying what that choice is. It conveys flexibility and openness to any outcome, indicating that the speaker is agreeable to all possibilities.
