Here's why:
* Possessive pronouns show ownership. They include words like: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs.
* "Its" in this sentence indicates that the paws belong to something (likely an animal).
Let's look at the other options:
* A) She stood up for peoples rights: "peoples" is incorrect. The correct word is "people's".
* B) He is mighty opponent: This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should be "He is a mighty opponent".
* D) will never agree to that: This is an incomplete sentence.
Therefore, only sentence C contains a possessive pronoun.
