Concept:The sentence requires a possessive determiner that agrees with the singular collective noun "jury".
Explanation:The jury acts as one unit, so it is treated as a singular collective noun.
"Its" is the possessive form of "it" and correctly shows that the verdict belongs to the jury.
"It's" is only a contraction of "it is" or "it has", so it cannot express possession.
"His" and "her" indicate male or female ownership, which does not apply to a neutral group such as a jury.
Therefore, the best word to complete the sentence is "its".
Answer:The correct option is "its".
