In sentence B, the apostrophe is correctly used to indicate the contraction of "you are" (you're) and the possessive form of "i" (i's). In sentence A, the apostrophe is incorrectly used in "Your'e" and should be "You're". In sentence C, there should be no apostrophes in "ts" and "is" because they are plurals, not possessives or contractions.
