The correct sentence that uses apostrophes correctly is option (b) Suzanne's car needs a new muffler.
Explanation: Apostrophes are used to indicate possession or contraction. In this case, we are indicating possession - the car that belongs to Suzanne. To show possession of a singular noun, we add an apostrophe followed by an 's'. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Suzanne's car needs a new muffler." The rest of the options (a), (c), and (d) do not use the apostrophe correctly and should be avoided.
