Which sentence uses an apostrophe correctly?
a.The dog wagged it's tail happily.
b.The students turned in there essays.
c.The company increased its profits this year.
d.Whose coming to the meeting later?
Explicación
'Its' is the possessive form and needs no apostrophe, so 'increased its profits' is correct. 'It's' means 'it is,' 'there' is a place word (not possessive 'their'), and 'whose' should be 'who's' for 'who is.' Possessive pronouns never take apostrophes.
