Their _____ house is by the side of the road. 
father-in-law's
father's-in-law
fathers-in-law
father-in-laws

Explanation

The sentence refers to a house belonging to their father-in-law. To form the possessive of a compound noun like "father-in-law," the apostrophe and "s" are added to the last word ("law"), not to "father." A. father-in-law's is correct because it shows possession: Their father-in-law's house is by the side of the road.
