Sentences which show possession:
A. It's Howard's fault.
C. Lady's slippers were under Carol's bed.

Contraction:
B. I can't (can not) say whether it's (it is) hers.
D. Let's (let us) see whom we'll (we will) call on next.

Although (A) can also show contraction since It's is "It is", but I'm basing my answer on the main thought of each sentence.
