I can’t tell which is correct without the sentence that contains the blank. Each option fits different grammatical situations:
- its — possessive pronoun referring to a thing or animal (The company changed its policy.)
- him — objective case for a singular male person (I gave him the book.)
- his or her — singular possessive for a person when gender is unspecified (Each student must bring his or her ID.)
- they're — contraction of "they are" (They're going to the store.) — not a possessive or objective pronoun
Paste the full sentence and I’ll pick the right one and explain why. If you’re asking about gender-neutral singular usage, note that many writers now prefer singular "they" (their) instead of "his or her," but that option isn’t listed.
