Solution

The correct option is A It

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated with a particular person, like ‘he’ or ‘she’. While an impersonal pronoun is commonly used to speak about inanimate objects and animals. ‘It’ is an impersonal pronoun that is used for this purpose. In the given sentence the noun is a ‘dog’ therefore ‘it’ would be the apt answer. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand, ‘He’ cannot be used since it is a ‘dog’ and not a person. Thus option A is incorrect. ‘His’ is a possessive pronoun that is used to talk about things that belong to people. Since the sentence doesn’t speak about belonging, option D is incorrect. Similarly ‘What’ is an interrogative pronoun that is used to pose a question, which is not apt here as the sentence is not an interrogative sentence. Thus option C is incorrect.
