Personally, I thought it was B. After Did she say there should be a comma. Correct me if I am wrong.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Correct!!!! :)

OpenStudy (frizz):

I just looked at C. That is a major mistake on my end.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

The apostrophe has three uses: To form possessives of nouns To show the omission of letters To indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So which one does NOT have an apostrophe??

OpenStudy (frizz):

Apostrophes show ownership from a noun. There is one that stands out to me that doesn't follow this rule.
