Correct Answer: whose


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Whose is a possessive form of "who" that is used to indicate ownership. It is used to state the possession of something by someone. In this case, it helps convey that the book being read by the person was written by the speaker's father.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The man whose book you are reading is my father."
