This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

<em>One</em> of the girls left _________ jacket in the cafeteria.
Choose the pronoun that agrees with the italicized antecedent in number and gender.
A) his
B) her
C) hers
D) their
Answer: B) her
Explanation:
Pronouns are used to indicate possession. Possessive pronouns are used in place of a noun while possessive determiners are placed before a noun.
Possessive determiners:
his
her
Possessive pronouns:
his
hers
In this case, the italicized antecedent refers to a girl (one of the girls), and the sentence refers to a jacket she possesses, so the correct pronoun would be the possessive determiner 'her.'
Assuming that this is referring to the same passage that was posted before with this question, the best option would be "<span>C. Fruit trees cannot grow fruit without birds and bees to sing to them."</span>
