Answer:  The correct answer is:
_________________________

 Choice: [A]:  " The dog took its bone and ran into the house. "
_________

Explanation:

_________

Take note of the following text of:
_________
  Choice [B]:  " The dog took it's bone and ran into the dog house."

 {<u>Note</u>: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

 Note the contraction:  " it's " ;  

           → is used only in place of:  " it is " — or; " it has. "

For: Choice: [B]:  

Note that replacing given word:  
  " it's " — with:  " it is " ; or:
             — with:  " it has "

           →  do not make sense.
_____
<u>Note</u>:  For the given information in:
             Answer Choice:  [B]:
_____
→  " The dog took it's {sic} bone and ran into the doghouse."
_____
First:  Let's replace the " it's" with: Both:" it is " ; <u><em>and:</em></u>  
                                                with:  " it has" .
_____
→   "{ The dog took <u>it is</u> bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
→   "{ The dog took <u>it has</u><u> </u>bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
_____
{<u>Note</u>: This does not only make sense within conversation—{nor, for that matter—in written from—but furthermore is not "grammatically correct"—{since inserting a "conjugated verb with a subject"}—such as:
 
→ " <u>it has</u>" ; or;
  → " <u>it is</u> " ;  [especially within an already written sentence with a clear "<u>subject or subject pronoun</u>"— along with a correspording "<u>predicate</u>."}.

_____
So, we can Rule out:  "Answer Choice:  [B]."

_______

Now:  Let's check:  Choice:  [C]:
_______
" The dog took its' bone and ran into the doghouse."

→  {<u>Note</u>: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

<u>Note</u>:  We never use the "word" — its' {sic} —<u><em>under any circumstances</em></u>—even to denote a "possessive sense"—and NOT as a "contraction."
       → One does NOT use any:  {"contraction(s) / apostrophes"} ;

                         → even to denote a "{possessive sense."}.

To the contrary, in ^these situations:

       → We simply write the word as:  " <u>its</u> " .
_____
→  which explains why:  

→ <u> </u><u>Answer Choice:  [A]:</u> " The dog took its bone and ran into house."
               →  is the correct answer!
_____

{Personal note of advice:  For academic and formal writng:
  For:  "it is" ; or: "it has" ; always write the words.
And, on that note:   Also contractions should be written out.
For example: "can't" should be written as:  "cannot" (one word).
 The word:  "won't" ; should be:  "will not."
_______
<u>Put simply:</u>
 In formal or academic writing—avoid all contractions—[unless you are quoting a source that contains contractions.]/
  When trying to write:  " it is " ;  or, " it has " ;  <u>do not use:</u>  " it's " ;  just write the actual words.  When trying to write:  " its " —in a "possessive sense" — simply write:  "  its " .
_____

Hope this answer—and lengthy explanation—is helpful!
Best wishes!
