The student noticed that the book was laying on side on the table.

  • A. Its's
  • B. Its'
  • C. It's
  • D. Its
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Its. In this context, "its" is a possessive pronoun indicating that the book is laying on its side. The word "its" does not require an apostrophe because it is already showing possession. The other choices are incorrect because:
A: Its's - Incorrect as "Its's" is not a valid form of the possessive pronoun.
B: Its' - Incorrect because the apostrophe should not be used with the possessive pronoun "its."
C: It's - Incorrect as "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," not a possessive form.
