Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel's is the correct way to show the possessive.

I would never have thought of D. It looks like it hints an a group of Samuels, but I'm not sure. It certainly is not possessive.

C: is incorrect. Uncle Samuel is possessive. It is not a simple plural in the given sentence. You need an apostrophe.

A is not correct. That, if it is at all correct, is a group possessive. The intent is one Samuel, and he possesses something. B is the only one that works.
