The option that shows how to correctly rewrite the given phrase above using an apostrophe is: the guys' skateboards. The correct answer would be option A. In this case, an apostrophe is only added to indicate possession because the given word is already in its plural form.

Answer: the guys' skateboards

Step-by-step explanation:

The possessive case is formed by adding ’s or sometimes just the apostrophe to a noun. There are a few different ways to form the possessive of a noun.

If the noun doesn’t end with an s, ’s is added to the end of the noun:

the guy's skateboards.This means there is only one guy.

This is the way to the men’s room. In this case, the noun is plural but ´s is still added because men does not end in s.

When a plural noun ends in s, just the apostrophe is added:

the guys' skateboards
