Solution

The correct option is B Bristol's harbour is one of the country's most beautiful.
According to general rule, the possessive of a singular noun (here, 'country' and 'Bristol') is formed by adding an apostrophe (') and s. Only an apostrophe is used for nouns that are singular but have a final word in plural and end with an s.
Thus, by applying the rules of using apostrophe and eliminating the incorrect options, the correct answer must be Option C.
