Answer: My favorite books are J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings series, but I love the older classics like Jane Eyre, too. (Tolkein's, series, Jane Eyre, too.)
We are talking about a person's favorite books. This person points out that they love the Lord of the Rings series writen by J.R.R. Tolkein, so this translates in J.R.R. Tolke<u>in's</u><u> </u>Lord of the Rings <u>series</u>. This eliminates option B's <em>serie's</em> (as the word is <em>series</em> and if we wanted to make it possesive, it would be series'). This also eliminates the last option as they mention J.R.R. Tolkeins without the possesive Tolke<u>in's.</u> Finally, the word "rings" does not require a possesive as it's a plural, so this rules out the third option giving you option A as an answer
