A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'its' (possessive form of 'it') which refers back to 'society' mentioned in the previous sentence. The sentence states that man must follow society's rules to enjoy real freedom. 'Their' would refer to plural nouns, 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is' which doesn't fit grammatically, and 'there' is an adverb indicating location, not a possessive pronoun.
