Solution

The correct option is B Jesus'
The possessive case of a singular noun ending with the letter "s" is formed by adding an apostrophe at the end of the noun. In this case, the word in bracket is Jesus, a singular proper noun. Its possessive form is: Jesus' . Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
Options A and C are incorrect as they do not follow the possessive sign pattern mentioned above.
