Correct Answer: returned to their


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : In the original sentence, "returns" is not grammatically correct because it does not agree with the plural subject "students". The correct version, "returned to their", ensures proper agreement by using the plural form "returned" and correctly employs the possessive pronoun "their" to indicate possession by the students.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "After recess, the students returned to their desks."
