Cevap

The choice that uses the objective pronoun 'her' and the possessive pronoun 'their' is correct.
The correct option correctly uses the objective pronoun 'her' as the object of the preposition 'between' and uses the possessive pronoun 'their' to correctly modify the noun 'work'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the grammatical role of the pronoun following the preposition.
The pronoun is part of the compound object 'between the software developers and [pronoun]'.
Objects of prepositions must be in the objective case.
2
Determine the correct case for the pronoun.
The objective form of the third-person singular feminine pronoun is 'her'.
'She' is a subjective pronoun, whereas 'her' is the objective pronoun.
3
Evaluate the homophone following the pronoun.
The sentence requires the possessive pronoun 'their' to modify the noun 'work'.
The contraction 'they're' stands for 'they are', which creates an ungrammatical fragment: 'since they are work'.
