Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
"Everyone's" is the contraction of "everyone is" and "Sasha's" is possessive, indicating that the dinner is taking place at Sasha's. Therefore, all the apostrophes are used correctly in option C. Option A is incorrect because "Everyones'" is not a correct possessive form, and option B is missing an apostrophe in "Sasha's."
