The correct answer is "Henry's" because the sentence is referring to the possession of a book by Henry. In English, when indicating possession, we use an apostrophe followed by an "s" to show that something belongs to someone. Therefore, "Henry's" is the correct form to indicate that the book belongs to Henry.Rate this question:

D. Vicky'sExplanation
The correct answer is "Vicky's". This answer is correct because the word "Vicky's" indicates possession, suggesting that the bike belongs to someone named Vicky. The apostrophe before the "s" indicates that the bike is owned by Vicky. The other options, "Vickys", "Vickies", and "Vickys'", do not use the correct punctuation to indicate possession.Rate this question:
