Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of the ' is important when showing possession. The 's after a noun shows that the person/place/thing/animal belongs to the noun.

For example, The chair's fabric.

The s' comes after a noun when the noun ends with s. This is another way to show the possession of a noun.

For example, Jesus' followers
