• B. goat
• C. goats
• D. goat's

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

goat's

The possessive form of a noun is formed using an 's.

In the given sentence, the correct noun to be used is 'goat', since it's a general term that refers to the wool obtained from the goat.

Option D: The possessive form of the noun 'goat' is goat's. It's formed by adding an 's to it. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: The noun goats' is a plural noun in the possessive case. But the given sentence is spoken of in the singular sense.

Option B: 'Goat' is a singular noun and it's not in the possessive case.

Option C: Goats is a plural noun and is not in the possessive case.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
