Select the most appropriate pronoun to fill in the blank.
Mr. Amit Kumar, Proprietor of Xyling Pens is known for _________ honesty and decent behaviour in the business arena.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. his. 

'His' is a possessive pronoun used to indicate that something belongs to a male subject.

Since Mr. Amit Kumar is the subject of the sentence, and 'Mr.' is a title given to a male subject, the correct pronoun to indicate possession of honesty and decent behavior is 'his.'

Thus, the correct sentence is:
'Mr. Amit Kumar, Proprietor of Xyling Pens, is known for his honesty and decent behaviour in the business arena.'
