Which utterance demonstrates possession (possessor + possession)?

• A. No kitty
• B. No goat
• C. Kitty house
• D. My doggie

Answer: (D)

Possession is shown when a possessor word comes in front of the thing owned. In the utterance My doggie, the word my functions as the possessor, signaling that the doggie belongs to the speaker. The possessed item is doggie, and the combination clearly marks ownership.

The other utterances don’t express ownership in the same explicit way. No kitty and No goat negate existence or presence rather than ownership. Kitty house forms a noun-noun compound describing a house related to a kitty, which isn’t the same explicit mark of ownership as using a possessive determiner.
