Solution

The correct option is A These
The pronouns that demonstrate (point out) some particular persons or things are called demonstrative pronouns.
In the given sentence the pencils are being pointed out.
The demonstrative pronoun 'these' are used to indicate plural noun. Hence option A is the correct answer.
The demonstrative pronouns 'this' and 'that' are referred to singular nouns.
The pronoun 'my' is not used to demonstrate any thing or person.
Thus options B,C,D are incorrect.
