Answer 1

Answer: (D)

those

The pronouns that demonstrate (point out) some particular persons or things are called demonstrative pronouns.

The demonstrative pronouns 'this' and 'these' are used to refer to what is near. 'This' is used to refer to singular nouns and 'These' is used for plural nouns.

The demonstrative pronouns 'that' and 'those' are used to refer to things far away. 'That' is used in case of singular nouns and 'Those' are used to in case of plural pronouns.

'Its' is not a demonstrative pronoun. It is a possessive pronoun.

'The' is an article. It is not a pronoun.

In the given sentence the books are being referred to. It is a plural noun. Thus option D is the correct answer.

Options A,B,C,E are incorrect.
