C is the answer, but let's look at why. look at the pronouns in each sentence, then ask if that word says that ownership is in question. A) She. No, no possession. She talks. No ownership. B) He. No, no possession. He talks. No ownership. C. Its. Yes. Its what? Its means that something coming after it is owned. Its talks? Nah, doesn't work. Its paws (the paws belong to it), Its house (the house belongs to it, etc) D. See A

Technically, none, "its" is a possessive determiner. "Its" does not take the place of a noun.
But 3 is the answer your teacher is looking for, and it's only us grammar freaks that make that distinction. ("mine" and "yours", for example, are possessive pronouns)
