- They
Hint:
Pronouns should agree in number, person, and gender with their antecedents. If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun should be singular. If the antecedent is plural, the pronoun should be plural.
The correct answer is: His
The noun or noun substitute that a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent. Singular antecedents joined by or, either...or, or neither ...nor require singular pronouns. 'Neither Paul nor Stephen should forget to thank his mentors during the speech', here the sentence indicates individual male (Paul and Stephen) that's why requires singular pronoun 'his'.
