The correct answer is C. Master Scrooges trunk being by this time tied on to the top of the chaise, the children bade the schoolmaster good-bye right willingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

In grammar, a noun is a word used to name or refer to a person, place, entity, idea, etc that is usually the subject of the sentence or the object of the actions. In the case of the sentence "Master Scrooges trunk being by this time tied on to the top of the chaise, the children bade the schoolmaster good-bye right willingly" the noun "Master Scrooges trunk" is incorrect because this refers to the trunk owned by Scrooge and according to grammar if a noun expresses belongingness it should be written using an apostrophe (') followed by an "s", this means the correct form is "Master Scrogee's trunk" and thus sentence C is the one that contains a noun which is in the incorrect form.
