Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The word "farmers" should have an apostrophe because it is indicating possession (the feelings belong to the farmers). The word "feelings" does not need an apostrophe because it is not indicating possession, it is simply a plural noun. The word "secretary" does not need an apostrophe because it is a singular noun that is not indicating possession.
