Fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap.

When I was in the secondary school, my parents were active members of the ..........
Parents - Teachers Association
Parents - Teachers' Association
Parent-Teacher Association
Parents - Teacher's Association

Explanation

It is often very popular to call it the ‘Parents-Teachers Association’.  This is not accurate because the presence of the hyphen (-) has eliminated the plural marker. As a result, the correct full meaning of PTA is ‘Parent-Teacher Association’.
