The option that shows how to correctly rewrite the given phrase above using an apostrophe is: the guys' skateboards. The correct answer would be option A. In this case, an apostrophe is only added to indicate possession because the given word is already in its plural form.

Answer: a. the guys' skateboards.

Option A is the one that correctly uses the possessive form. Most of the time, when we are turning a noun into a possessive, we add an "s" if the noun is singular:

Ex. the bike of the man = the man's bike

However, when we are dealing with plurals, the apostrophe is added to indicate the possessive, but no "s" is needed anymore:

Ex. the skateboard of the guys = the guys' skateboard
