In the sentence about Sopranos, which pronoun correctly fills the blank to refer to Sopranos as a plural group?

their

his

its

her

When a noun names a plural group, the pronoun that refers back to it must also be plural. The Sopranos refers to multiple people, so you’d use a plural possessive determiner: their. For example, “The Sopranos released their latest album.” Using his, her, or its would imply a single person or a single entity, which doesn’t match a plural group. So the best choice is their.
