To determine the correct answer for the blank in the sentence "Yo _______ un perro", let's break down each option and discuss their meanings in English:

a. tiene - This option means "he/she/it has", which does not match with the subject "Yo" (I).

b. tenemos - This option means "we have", which also does not match with the subject "Yo" (I).

c. tienes - This option means "you have", which also does not match with the subject "Yo" (I).

d. tengo - This option means "I have", which matches with the subject "Yo" (I).

Therefore, the correct answer is "d. tengo".

If you want to determine the answer without any prior knowledge of Spanish, you could use the process of elimination. By understanding the subject "Yo" (I) in the sentence and eliminating options that do not match with it, you can arrive at the correct answer.
