choose 1 answer.
a women’s
b womens’s
For plural nouns that already end in an 's' (like "women" is an irregular plural that does not end in 's', but the rule for plural possession is: for irregular plurals not ending in 's', add an apostrophe + 's' to show possession. "Women" is the plural of "woman", so the correct possessive form is "women’s". The option "womens’s" is incorrect as it adds an extra unnecessary 's' after the apostrophe.
