Which sentence correctly shows the contraction for 'it is'?

• A. Its important to maintain consistency.
• B. It is important maintain consistency.
• C. Its' important to maintain consistency.
• D. It's important to maintain consistency.

Answer: (D)

The sentence tests the correct use of the contraction for “it is.” When you shorten “it is,” you write “it’s” with an apostrophe to replace the missing letters. The possessive form “its” has no apostrophe, so it doesn’t stand for “it is.” Therefore the proper form is “It’s important to maintain consistency,” which keeps the meaning unchanged while using the contraction correctly. The other options misuse the apostrophe or omit the contraction, or leave out the required “to,” making them incorrect.
