Answer:
The correct answer is b. the witnesses' testimonies.
Explanation:
in the English grammar exists what is called the Saxon Genitive or Possessive 's. It is used to indicate possession and one of the rules is that if the possessor is a regular plural noun that uses the s at the end, the apostrophe is used at the end. In this case, the noun "witnesses" is a plural noun and the S has to be placed at the end, and then comes the object that is possessed.
In the year of our Lord 66, the Emperor Nero, being at that time in the twenty-ninth year of his life and the thirteenth of his reign, set sail for Greece with the strangest company and the most singular design that any monarch has ever entertained. With ten galleys he went forth from Puteoli, carrying with him great stores of painted scenery and theatrical properties, together with a number of knights and senators, whom he feared to leave behind him at Rome, and who were all marked for death in the course of his wanderings. In his train he took Natus, his singing coach; Cluvius, a man with a monstrous voice, who should bawl out his titles; and a thousand trained youths who had learned to applaud in unison whenever their master sang or played in public. So deftly had they been taught that each had his own rôle to play. Some did no more than give forth a low deep hum of speechless appreciation. Some clapped with enthusiasm. Some, rising from approbation into absolute frenzy, shrieked, stamped, and beat sticks upon the benches. Some—and they were the most effective—had learned from an Alexandrian a long droning musical note which they all uttered together, so that it boomed over the assembly. With the aid of these mercenary admirers, Nero had every hope, in spite of his indifferent voice and clumsy execution, to return to Rome, bearing with him the chaplets for song offered for free competition by the Greek cities.

And, as thy son, it falls to me to mark
The acts, the words, the comments of the crowd.
The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,
But I can overhear their muttered plaints,
Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed
For noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths.
O father, nothing is by me more prized
Than thy well-being, for what higher good
Can children covet than their sire's fair fame,
As fathers too take pride in glorious sons?
For whoso thinks that wisdom dwells with him,
That he alone can speak or think aright,
Such oracles are empty breath when tried.
See how the trees beside a stream in flood
Save, if they yield to force, each spray unharmed,
But by resisting perish root and branch.
The mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut,
And will not slacken in the gale, is like
To sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost.
Relent then and repent thee of thy wrath;
For, if one young in years may claim some sense,
I'll say 'tis best of all to be endowed
With absolute wisdom; but, if that's denied,
(And nature takes not readily that ply)
Next wise is he who lists to sage advice.
The following lines show us that Haemon believes that the opinions of the Theban citizens should be heeded:
"The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,
But I can overhear their muttered plaints,
Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed
For noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths."
The citizens, according to Haemon, are too scared of defying Creon; however, Haemon can hear their objections to his decision, and he knows that they are on Antigone's side. They believe she is dying unfairly, and he respects their opinion, which is why he brings it to his father.
In poetry, 'sill of shade' usually symbolizes a transition between light and darkness, which can represent various dichotomies. The narrator of a poem, who 'speaks' the poem, may be the author or a constructed character, and may bring personal perceptions to the reader's understanding of the poem.
The phrase 'sill of shade' in poetry is typically indicative of a boundary or transitional space between light and darkness, potentially symbolizing the shift between understanding and ignorance, or hope and despair, depending on the context of the poem.
The narrator of a poem is the voice that 'speaks' the poem to us. It can be the author themselves or a character invented by the author. Although some narrators are unbiased, others offer their personal views, emotions, and insights into the occurrences of the poem, shaping our understanding of the narrative.

The correct answer is: Option C. Room's.
Since in the sentence the speaker is referring to the view of the window located in the living room, it is necessary to address the property of the window directly by placing an apostrophe and an s after it.
By placing the apostrophe before the s, it is indicative the view belongs to a window in a single living room. If it was placed after the s, the view would be considered to belong to a window in multiple living rooms.
