which statement is better (correct?)

(a) I really appreciate YOUR taking time to answer my questions.
(b) I really appreciate YOU taking time to answer my questions.

I seem to read both but wonder if they are different or if one is in fact an incorrect statement.

Any comment? Thanks

Seraphin (a) I really appreciate YOUR taking the time to answer my questions. (b) I really appreciate YOU taking the time to answer my questions. I'd choose B, but A sounds quite natural to me.

I'd choose (a), but there's nothing really wrong with either of them.
