To determine the correct form of "Thornton's," I need some context regarding how it is being used in a sentence. Generally, if you are referring to something that belongs to Thorntons (like a possessive), the correct form would be either "Thornton's" or "Thorntons'." If you're referring to a name (like the brand name or business), it could also be "Thorntons" without a possessive.
- Option A) "NO CHANGE" - would be correct if referring to a singular possessive (ownership) by someone named Thornton.
- Option B) "Thorntons" - could be correct if referring to the company or brand as a plural noun or proper name without possession.
- Option C) "Thorntons'" - would be correct if you are indicating possession by multiple owners with the surname Thornton.
- Option D) "Thorntons's" - is uncommon and generally incorrect unless a specific style guide prescribes it for plural possessives.
If you can provide more context, I would be able to help you choose the correct option!
