The correct option/sentence which is correctly punctuated is C:
The two boys' bags were lying at the river's edge.
Explanation:
- In option A, the apostrophe is placed incorrectly. It should be "boys'" instead of "boy's" as it indicates possession by multiple boys.
- In option B, both the apostrophes are placed incorrectly. It should be "boys'" instead of "boys" and "rivers'" instead of "rivers" as they indicate possession by multiple boys and multiple rivers, respectively.
- In option D, the placement of apostrophes is incorrect. It should be "boys'" instead of "boys" and "bags'" instead of "bags" as they indicate possession by multiple boys and multiple bags, respectively.
Therefore, the correct option is C:
The two boys' bags were lying at the river's edge.
where the apostrophes are placed correctly to indicate possession by multiple boys and a single river.
