Correct Answer: Possessive adjective
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership, but they cannot be used before or in front of nouns. It is independent. A noun may also be substituted using it.
The possessive pronouns are listed as follows: mine, yours, his, hers, and its.


Possessive adjectives are used to indicate who or what owns a noun or pronoun before them.  The possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose.


A word that modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even an entire sentence is known as a "adverb."


The word "verb" is used to describe an action, state, or occurrence and is the primary component of a sentence's predicate.


The noun "car and house" in the given sentence belongs to a specific person. However, because it comes before a noun, his is a possessive adjective.
