Solution

The correct option is B Jana Gana Mana is India's national anthem.
The possessive case of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe at the end of the noun followed by the letter "s". In this case, the underlined word viz India, is a singular and proper noun. Its possessive form is: India's . Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
Options A and C are incorrect as they do not follow the possessive sign pattern mentioned above.
