Answer (A) is correct.  In the sentence: "The Amazon parrot that greets visitors in the lobby of the Houston Museum of Natural Science looks so similar to yours," "yours" is the possessive pronoun.  "Yours" is the correct possessive pronoun form of "you," not "yours'," "your's," or "you'res."

Answer:

The correct answer is letter A. The Amazon parrot that greets visitors in the lobby of the Houston Museum of Natural Science looks so similar to yours.

Explanation:

  Possessive pronouns  indicates possession and are used for the purpose of replacing the noun contained in the sentence. The letter B "your's" it doesn't exist in english. The letter C "your's" is an incorrect way of spelling yours.  But "yours" can be an Object Pronouns, that are always used on the final of the sentences. But in this case, it's a possessive pronoun. The letter "D" is totally incorrect, because instead of writting you're, they wrote your'res. For this reason the correct answer is letter A.
