C Correct answer
Explanation

Option (3) is grammatically the most correct option. Option (1) and (4) are incorrect as they violate the subject verb agreement. Option (2) is incorrect because of usage of “it's” which is not a pronoun but a contraction of it is. Option (5) is incorrect as 'to' is used with 'admitting'. (We always admit, not admit to)
