Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error. Are these library books their?

  1. A.books
  2. B.their✓ Correct
  3. C.library
  4. D.Are these

Explanation

The word 'their' is a possessive pronoun indicating belonging, but here the sentence needs 'theirs' (or the sentence should be rephrased as 'Are these their library books?'). Using 'their' at the end to indicate possession of the books is grammatically incorrect.
