Do you mind leaving this payment until next year?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2016 (Tier 1) Previous Year Question Paper (11-Sep-2016) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

my

The correct answer is option 2, "my".

The original sentence, "Do you mind leaving this payment until next year?", is grammatically correct but could be improved for clarity and style. The pronoun "this" is a bit vague. Using the possessive pronoun "my" clarifies that the payment belongs to the speaker. Therefore, "Do you mind leaving my payment until next year?" is a more precise and natural-sounding sentence. Options 1 and 3 are incorrect as they don't create a grammatically correct or logically sound sentence in this context. Option 4 is incorrect because the sentence can indeed be improved.
