C. their assignment
Explanationव्याख्या
In traditional prescriptive exam grammar, “neither” is singular and a singular pronoun is expected.
A formal correction is: Neither of the girls has completed her assignment.
Modern English often permits singular “their,” but examinations may test traditional agreement.
Traditional exam grammar में “neither” singular माना जाता है और उसके अनुसार singular pronoun अपेक्षित होता है। इसलिए “their” के स्थान पर “her” दिया जा सकता है। आधुनिक English में singular “their” स्वीकार्य है, लेकिन परीक्षा में traditional rule पूछा जा सकता है।
