the answer would be choice A. because of how at the end of the sentence the words children's and clothing are switched which makes it out of context

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence in option A uses possessive/ genitive case correctly. The first noun sisters is plural ending in s , so it is correct to use a simple apostrophe ( ' ) after the noun. Charity is a singular noun: addind 's is correct. Children is a plural noun not ending in s , so it is correct to form the possessive by adding the apostrophe and the s ('s) to it.
