Answer 1

None are correct.

Possessives are indicated by using apostrophes in English.

Singular possessive (one person or thing that "owns" the next noun) -- add 's to the singular form of the word.
the girl's bicycle

Plural possessive (two or more people or things that "own" the next noun) -- add ' to the plural form if it ends in "s" (or add 's to the plural form if it doesn't end in "s").
my brothers' toothbrushes

You fix the others, and I'll check them for you.
