In standard English grammar, both B (Charles') and D (Charles's) can be considered correct depending on the style guide you follow. However, for examinations like JAMB or WAEC, there is often a specific "most appropriate" choice.
Option B (Charles'): This is typically preferred by the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook for proper nouns ending in s. Many academic resources in Nigeria and West Africa also traditionally teach this as the primary rule for names ending in s.
Option D (Charles's): This is the standard recommended by the Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk and White, which suggest adding 's to all singular nouns regardless of their ending.
charles send with 's' it takes is possession by adding only an apostrophe (') charles'
Pls student take note That is very wrong in a sentence to express ownership is like this charle's which means option A is the coreect answer
Yeah
B is the correct answer
The apostrophe is there to show ownership of that possession
