Solution

The underlined word 'those' is used to point out specific nouns ('books') in the sentence. Words like 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those' function as demonstrative determiners when they precede a noun to specify it. Therefore, 'those' belongs to the word class of determiners.

Answer: Determiner

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
