GKomoku,

The two choices differ by a single word. Play close attention to the words "Children's" and " Childrens' " :-)

Only one of the two is a possessive noun.

Parallelism :
Providing, Helping, and establishing.
Eliminate A,B,E

Singular Possessive Vs Plural Possessive
Plural possessive makes sense when efforts in war are being discussed.
Eliminate C

Answer Option D is Correct.

"children" is already plural, so childrens' doesn't make any sense.
The correct possessive will be "children's"
