## Step 1The problem is a multiple-choice question that tests your understanding of possessive forms in English grammar. The sentence in question is about a flat, dry lakebed in Death Valley National Park, where rocks move periodically. The sentence is incomplete and needs to be completed in a way that conforms to the conventions of Standard English.## Step 2The options provided are:A. playas sediment mark the rock'sB. playa's sediment mark the rocksC. playa's sediment mark the rocks'D. playas' sediment mark the rocks'## Step 3The correct answer is B. "playa's sediment mark the rocks". This is because the sentence is talking about a single 'playa', which is a Spanish word for a flat, dry lakebed. Therefore, the possessive form should be 'playa's', not 'playas' or 'playas''.## Step 4The sentence is also talking about multiple rocks, so the plural form 'rocks' should be used, not 'rock's' or 'rocks''.
