Which sentence correctly forms the plural of the letter R?

A. Three R's make up her initials.
B. Three Rs' make up her initials.
C. Three Rs make up her initials.

Option C is the answer.
Option A is incorrect as the apostrophe indicates possession. Option B is incorrect as the same reason as above. Since R is capitalized, a single 's' will be added without any apostrophe. If R weren't capitalized, then it should have been 3 r's so as to avoid confusion of whether the writer is talking about rs or only r. R's means "of R". Hope I helped!

The correct answer is Option C: 'Three Rs make up her initials.' Apostrophes are not needed when simply indicating the plural of a letter. The correct way to form the plural of the letter R is to write it as Rs without any apostrophe.
