The two answers are his and his. These are both possesive pronouns followed by a verb used as a gerund. The sentence mandates a pronoun in the possesive case rather than the objective case.
If you would like more help and like to self-study, look for the awesome book entitled “Cliffs QuickReview: Writing: Grammar, Usage and Style”. It’s excellent!
