Read the passage.This spring students are participating in a city-wide history fair. Deciding on a topic wasn’t easy for Mark and Kayla. They had a hard time choosing the topic of his and her project. Students can research any subject they are interested in as long as the subject is related to the city’s history. The decision was easy for Shauna and me. We chose the topic of local architecture after a neighbor gave us a tour of his historic home. My friend prepared a presentation on local architecture for the fair last year. He included a lot of photographs in his presentation. I plan to take my own pictures of interesting old buildings around the city.

C

D

Explanation
Mark and Kayla are two people, so the project belongs to both of them. The plural possessive pronoun “their” correctly replaces “his and her,” making the sentence: “They had a hard time choosing the topic of their project.” The other choices introduce pronouns that do not match the people or objects described.
