Explanation:

• In English grammar, words such as my, your, his, her, its, our, your, and their- are Possareessive adjectives (also spelt as “weak” possessive pronouns.
• They function as determiners in front of a noun to describe belongings /to who something belongs. For example: "I said that's my book."

• Generally, we use possessive pronouns to talk about a person, place or thing that has already been explained.
• Such pronouns prevent repetition in a sentence.  
• Possessive adjectives occur before a noun (my toy) or an adjective + noun (my new toy).
• Possessive adjectives have no singular or plural. They are preferred with both singular and plural nouns (my book, my books).

Therefore, the final and most appropriate words to be added in the blanks are-

(a) their

(b) our

(c) her

(d) His

(e) my
