Solution
The correct option is C Their
A limiting pronoun is an adjective that may be used as a pronoun. In other words, if it stood alone it would be a pronoun, but when attached to a noun, it becomes a limiting pronoun.Option B, 'their', is the correct answer because it is a limiting possessive pronoun which shows that something belongs to an antecedent. In the sentence, we can thus understand that the children belong to them.Options A, C and D are incorrect because they are absolute possessive pronouns that neither show possession/belongingness nor modify the nouns.
