Correct Answer: than your


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Explanation : In the given sentence, a comparative degree has been used. During the comparison, we normally compare the same type of part of speech with others. The sentence cannot be ended with the possessive determiner "your". We end such sentences with the possessive pronoun, and in this case, it would be "yours" .

Hence, the correct sentence is: "Her handwriting is definitely more beautiful than yours."
