Answer:

The possessive pronoun is mine.

Possessive Pronoun :

• 'Mine' a is possessive pronoun of personal pronoun 'I'. Its object pronoun is 'me' and adjective pronoun is 'my'. Possessive pronouns means this kind of pronouns possess something, here 'mine' possesses 'the bag'.

• Naturally Possessive Pronoun does not take noun after it. 'Be' verb is used between the noun and possessive pronoun, here it is 'is'. Sometimes 'of' is also used between them : This skirt of hers is red. Possessive Pronoun doesn't take Apostrophe ( ' ) - hers not her's.

• Examples : This house is ours. Which shirt is yours? Those cows are his. Here ours, his, yous and his are possessive pronouns.
