Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly to indicate possession?

A The childrens' toys were scattered across the floor.
B The childs' toy was broken.
C The children's toys were scattered across the floor.
D The childs toy was broken.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The plural of child is children, which is an irregular plural. To show possession for irregular plurals, add 's. Thus, 'children's' is correct. 'Child's' is for singular possession.
