(1) player’s number’s

• A. NO CHANGE

• B. players’ numbers

• C. player’s numbers’

• D. players number’s

Answer explanation

Multiple fans would have more than one favorite player, so players should be plural. The word numbers, then, would be plural too. Now, let’s go back to players. Not only is the noun plural, it is also possessive because the passage is discussing THEIR numbers. An ending of –s’ indicates plural possessive. There is no need for an apostrophe on numbers because the numbers do not own anything—it’s simply a

plural noun
