Solution

The correct option is B men's
The men's names are David and Samuel .
Men is a noun which doesn't state any ownership hence it is not the correct option .
Men's is the correct option as the apostrophe is stating ownership . Men being a irregular plural noun form in order to have a plural possessive noun we have added apostrophe s . That results in men's which is the correct option.
Man's isn't the right option as it states possession of a singular noun but in the given sentence there are two nouns.
Their is a pronoun hence it cannot state any possession. So, it is not the correct option.
