Forklaring
"Someone else's" is the possessive form indicating ownership by another person. The correct construction for the possessive form is "someone else's," indicating that the property belongs to someone other than the person taking it. Therefore, option B, "someone else's," is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence grammatically and convey the intended meaning.
