Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The soldiers' rifles were stacked in the army's storeroom prior to their departure.

Regular nouns are nouns that form their plurals by adding either the letter s or es (in the given sentence - soldier). According to general rule, an apostrophe after the s is used to indicate the plural possession of such regular nouns.

In order to indicate the possessive of a singular noun an apostrophe followed by s is used.

Thus, according to rules, the correct answer is Option B. The remaining options are incorrect.
