Solution

The correct option is B Indian Prime Minister's
When a noun consists of several words, the apostrophe+s is suffixed to the last word in the noun.
The group of words: "Indian Prime Minister" refers to a single noun. Its possessive case is formed by suffixing apostrophe+s to the last word i.e Minister. Hence, its possessive form is: Indian Prime Minister's. Option B is the correct answer.
The other options are incorrect as they do not follow the rule as mentioned above.
