The correct way to write the quotation part of the sentence is: mother-in-law's. The correct answer is option C. The sentence would be written like this: My mother-in-law's blueberry pie won first place at the county fair. We used the 's because it shows ownership or possession. The blueberry pie is owned by the mother-in-law.
