Can you pick the right pronoun?

Which pronoun is correct?
__ are my classmates
a) They
b) Them
c) Their
The correct answer is:

a) They

Explanation:

They is a subject pronoun and is used as the subject of the sentence.
They are my classmates. (Correct)

Them is an object pronoun and cannot be used as the subject.
I know them. (Correct usage, but not in this case)

Their is a possessive pronoun (shows ownership).
Their books are on the table. (Correct in another context)

So, the right choice is They.
