In the sentence "It's unusual for a mammal to abandon its young", the contraction "It's" correctly represents "It is", and "its" is used correctly to show possession. Option A is incorrect because the possessive "its" should not have an apostrophe. Option C incorrectly uses an apostrophe in "it's" when it should not be contracted, and "its" should be used for possession.
