Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the personal pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is "their".

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence denotes that the piano is owned by two people: Claire's grandmother and grandfather. Therefore, the personal pronoun indicating possession should also be plural. That is why "their" is the correct option. All the other pronouns refer either to the grandmother or the grandfather, not to both of them.
