Bianca Benton · Answer 1

Pluralizing acronyms is usually done with just an s like any other word.

This is to contrast with possessive forms, singular (formed with 's) and plural. (s')

There's not really a technical consensus on this, however. This does fit the Chicago Manual of Style if that matters at all.

b. Changing documents into PDFs isn't too difficult.

Piper Oconnell · Answer 2

B because the other two are possessive and B is plural. (The apostrophes aren't needed)

Good Luck.
