According to general rule, the possessive of singular nouns or more personal names require an apostrophe followed by s. Also, for the sake of clarity, plurals of single letters in a sentence use an apostrophe followed by s.

Therefore, according to the rules, the correct answer will be Option C. The other remaining options are incorrect.
