A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'his' because both Henry and George are male names, so we need a masculine singular possessive pronoun. The pronoun must agree in gender and number with the antecedent (either Henry or George). 'She' and 'hers' are feminine, 'himself' is reflexive.
