Solution

The correct option is D Demonstrative pronoun

There are different types of pronouns used in English grammar.

From the options given:

Demonstrative: These pronouns are used to demonstrate or indicate(this, that, these etc)

Indefinite: indefinite pronouns are used for non-specific things (anybody, somebody etc)

Personal: They are used to refer to people or objects that we are speaking about. In case of people, there are different personal pronouns that can be used depending upon whether we are talking in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd person perspective.

Possessive: Possessive pronouns are used to show possession(yours, mine, his, it's etc)

Therefore, 'those' is a demonstrative pronoun and option d is the correct answer.
