Solution
The correct option is C Your A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ) is a pronoun. In this case, the pronoun would show a possession towards the work, thus it is in a possessive form. Now, in this case the noun "work" is already present. Thus, we would be using a possessive adjective and not a possessive pronoun (like mine, hers, theirs etc.)
