Correct Answer
A. YoursExplanation
The question is asking for the correct possessive form of the word "pen" in relation to the person being addressed. The correct answer is "yours" because it indicates that the pen belongs to the person being spoken to. "Your" is incorrect because it is used to describe something that belongs to the person being spoken to, but not specifically the pen. "Our" and "us" are also incorrect because they refer to a group of people and not the individual being addressed.Rate this question:
