Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is "its"
"Their" is a plural possessive pronoun. Japan refers to one country; therefore, the sentence needs a singular pronoun. "They're" and "it's" are contractions of "they are" and "it is" respectively. "Its" is the singular possessive form that properly completes the sentence.
