Answer:

The correct answer is option (b). It is a possessive pronoun that takes the place of a noun.

Explanation:  

On seeing all the options:  

1) There are no prepositions in this sentence, so 'yours' cannot be the object of a preposition.

2) The subject of this sentence is the pronoun 'I' because it is the 'doer' of the action

3) It is not a personal pronoun; personal pronouns are I, you, he/she/it, we, you, and they.  

Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) - it is a possessive pronoun because it shows that the pronoun 'you' is the owner of the skateboard that the subject likes more.
