• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The President's house is guarded by several units of police.

Apostrophe indicates possession.

Apostrophe is used with nouns in two ways:

1. Apostrophe before 's' – to show possession with a singular noun or a plural noun that does not end in ‘s’
2. Apostrophe after 's'- to show possession with a plural noun which ends with 's'

In the sentence given, the noun 'President' is singular and does not end in 's'. Hence, 's will come at its end.
