The answer would be A because it is missing an apostrophe between the e and s in there's.

A. There's, not theres, stands for there is.
Thus this sentence contains a contraction that is formed incorrectly.

B. Let's stands for let us. This is correct.

C. I'd stands for I would. This is correct.

D. Isn't stands for is not. This is correct.
(Jim's is not a contraction, it's just a possessive)
