Explanation:

According to grammar, the apostrophe should be used in the cases a letter or letters have been omitted for example in the case of "she is" that can be written using the apostrophe as "she's", but also the apostrophe is used to show belonging which means an entity owns other or is related to, in this cases the apostrophe is commonly added after a noun and then followed by an "s" as in "Bob's dog" that shows the dog belongs to bob. Considering this, in the case of the sentence presented the apostrophe should be used to show the proprietorship fo the boy over the room and therefore the correct answer is "The boy’s room was creatively decorated with glow in the dark stars" because this uses the apostrophe correctly and also is the only section in this sentence in which there is an entity that owns other.
