ANSWER:

The completed sentence is 'Which of these books are yours?'

EXPLANATION:

    According to subject - verb agreement, the subject must agree with the verb. The verb must also be in singular form when the subject in the sentence is singular, . And in sentences where the subject is plural, the verb must also be in plural form.

   In the given sentence, the subject is books, which is plural. So the verb that is used must also be plural in form.  

   An example for the other case is 'The child is dancing on the stage.' In this case, the subject is child, which is plural and this is why the verb used is in its singular form.
