Solution
The correct option is C Cricket is Harish's favourite sport. The possessive case of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" at the end of the noun. In this case, the possessive form of the proper noun "Harish" is "Harish's". Hence the correct answer is option A.
Option B does not follow the rule mentioned above. Hence, this is not the correct answer.
Option C i.e Harishs is not the possessive form as the apostrophe is missing, hence it's not correct.
