Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. my.

  • In this context, "my" is a possessive adjective used to indicate ownership.
  • The speaker is expressing their displeasure over the failure, specifically regarding "my summer months," meaning the summer months that belong to them personally.
  • "My" is correct to refer to the noun "summer months". 

Thus, the most appropriate filler for the given sentence is my.
