You're welcome. But I goofed! It's should be its.
Yes, you are correct. The answer is D.
To figure out the correct punctuation for this sentence, you need to determine whether the word "Presidents" is singular or plural possessive.
In this case, there are multiple presidents being referred to, so it should be plural possessive. To form the plural possessive, you add an apostrophe after the final "s" in the word. Therefore, the sentence should be written as "Presidents' wives have always played important social roles."
Option D, "Presidents' wives..." demonstrates the correct punctuation.
