Correct Answer: since it’s formation


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The error lies in the use of the contraction "it’s" (which is a contraction of "it is" or "it has") instead of the possessive form "its." In this context, we need to indicate the duration of her membership in the club, and "its" is the correct possessive form to use.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "She has been a member of this club since its formation."
