#1 - None of the sentences are correct because the word should be "its" not "it's" -- the second of which is a contraction meaning "it is."
#2 - Go through all of them and make sure every instance of "it" or "its" makes a clear reference to a noun earlier in the sentence. If it's not clear what "it" is referring to, then that sentence is incorrect.

yes they are "it" sorry I put "it's" by accident
A and C are not good because of the word "says." Does the purchase talk?
So -- which is better? B or D?
So -- which is better? B or D?
I believe D
I disagree. B. says the same thing, but in fewer words. The words "about it" are redundant.
Oh isee what you mean!
Ms. Sue is right. D has wordiness and redundancy in it.
