Correct Answer: as its


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation :

The original sentence uses it’s , which is a contraction of it is and is not the appropriate possessive form. The correct possessive pronoun is its without an apostrophe. The pronoun its indicates possession, and the sentence maintains consistency in structure.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: They are cautious about their car as its door is broken.
