Answer:

Possessive adjective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjectives are part of speech that stand beside a noun and modify it. There are several types of adjectives: descriptive, possessive, demonstrative, interrogative, or indefinite.

Possessive adjectives imply possession of something or when it is about humans - relationship.
