If my memory serves me well, A writer should use a C. Possessive pronoun to show ownership. Possession is a synonym to ownership so use it as a tip. The structure is: possessive pronoun -> object it owns. For example "Her cat is cute". Her is possessive pronoun, cat is the object she owns.

The answer is:

C. possessive
