Which of the following is a possessive pronoun?

  1. Him

  2. Her

  3. Our

  4. He

The correct answer is: Our

The correct choice is identified as "our" because it functions as a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership or relationship to a noun. Possessive pronouns like "our," "his," "her," "their," and "my" show that something belongs to or is associated with the person or group being referred to. In this case, "our" signifies that the noun it modifies belongs to a group that includes the speaker. The other options do not serve as possessive pronouns. "Him" and "he" are personal pronouns that refer to a subject or object without denoting possession. "Her" can be a personal pronoun or a possessive adjective, but in the context of the question, it does not function as a possessive pronoun on its own. Therefore, "our" stands out as the only possessive pronoun among the given choices.
