Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. his

• "Neither" is a singular indefinite pronoun meaning "not the one nor the other" of two.
Even though the phrase mentions "the two boys," the grammatical subject of the sentence is neither, which requires a singular possessive pronoun (his) rather than a plural one (their).
