Correct Answer: D

Choice D is the best answer. The subject is "Woolly mammoths" (plural). The possessive pronoun must be plural ("their").

Choice A is incorrect because "its" is singular. Choice B is incorrect because "his" is singular. Choice C is incorrect because "our" implies the speaker is a mammoth.
