1."children's"(a)

'Children' is an irregular plural (it doesn't end in -s), so we add 's: children's playground.

2."boys'"(b)

'Boys' is a regular plural ending in -s. Just add an apostrophe after the s: boys' changing room.

3."son's"(c)

One son — use singular possessive 's: son's bicycle. The word 'He' confirms it's one son.

4."women's"(d)

'Women' is an irregular plural (no -s ending), so we add 's: women's rest room.

5."students'"(a)

'All the students' tells us it's plural. Regular plural + apostrophe only: students' uniforms.
