options A) and B) are not possible in any context in English.

option C could be possible but only for a proper name "his". As in, Imagine someone had a nickname "His".

The correct option is D) his - this the the genitive form of "he"

Answer:

D) His

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a possessive pronoun, it demonstrates ownership over, in this case, the Olympic gold medal. The use of this type of pronouns is good to avoid repetitions and to show that some things belong to a particular person. As the rest of the pronoun, they replaced the previous noun in a sentence.

I hope this answer helps you.
