Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. their coats there.
"There" refers to a place, not ownership.
"Their" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership.
In this sentence, it correctly refers to the coats belonging to "them."

The correct phrase is "their coats there", meaning the coats belong to them and are placed in a particular location.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
