Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. its.

  • The complete sentence would be: "Transformation of a sentence means changing the words or forms of the sentence without changing its meaning."

  • In this context, "its" is the correct possessive pronoun to use, as it refers back to the possessive nature of the sentence being transformed.

  • The word "its" indicates that the transformation doesn't change the meaning of the sentence itself.
