Solution

The correct option is A children's
The possessive form of a noun is formed using an 's.
Option A: The possessive form of the noun 'children' is children's. It's formed by adding an 's to it. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: The noun 'children' in 'childrens' is already plural. Hence it's wrong to add an s to make it plural. Also, it's not in the possessive case.
Option C: Childrens' is not the correct plural form of the noun. It should be 'children'.
Option D: 'Children' is not in the possessive case.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
