Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

their

B

it's

C

its

D

they're

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence needs the subject and verb for the dependent clause: "that [it is] their responsibility." "It's" is the contraction for "it is." Note that "their" follows later in the sentence, but the missing word introduces the clause.
