<span>The question says,'before you use one of the encyclopedias, check .......... its copyright date'. The correct option is A. This is because, the statement is referring to only one of the encyclopedias, and the correct possessive noun for an inanimate object like encyclopedia is it's. 'Their' will only be correct if the statement is referring to all the encyclopedias.</span>
I think the answer is: A. Personification
I hope this helps!
