The most appropriate option to fill in the blank and make a grammatically correct sentence is:
☀ officer's
The sentence would read: "The police officer's helmet lay on the table."
Explanation: "Officer's" is the possessive form of "officer," indicating that the helmet belongs to a specific police officer. The other options don't fit the context:
-
Officers: This is the plural form and doesn't indicate possession.
-
Officers’: This is the plural possessive form and doesn't match the singular noun "helmet."
-
Officer: This is the singular form and doesn't indicate possession.
