The correct answer is A. They’re still not finished with the project that was due yesterday.

A homophone refers to two or more words that have the same pronunciation, but are spelled differently and have different meanings and uses in language. "They", "their" and "they're" are homophones because they all sound the same, but mean different things and have different uses. Option A. is the only sentence in which the homophone is correctly used.
