    B Ram’s and Sita’s house(B) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C and found the couple missing (C) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No error (D) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct possessive form for joint possession is "Ram and Sita's house," not "Ram’s and Sita’s house." When we have two or more than two subjects showing possession the ‘s is added to the last subject only. So, the correct sentence would be: "I visited Ram and Sita's house and found the couple missing."
