Solution
The correct option is A ponies If the noun ends with consonant followed by y, the plural of the noun is formed by removing the letter "y and changing it to "ies". The plural of the word "pony" is "ponies". Basis this, the correct answer is Option A.
Options B and C are incorrect as both the words-ponys' and ponys don't exist in English language.
Option D is incorrect as Option A is the correct answer.
