Explanation:

Sentence 3 is "Unfortunately, the floods generated by the monsoon wiped out much of it's homes, bridges, plants, and electricity." The error is the contraction "it's" (which means "it is" or "it has") being used instead of the possessive pronoun "its" to show ownership of the homes, etc. So we need to change "it's" to "its".

Answer:

Change it’s to its. (The option with text "Change it’s to its.")
