Is there any rule that apostrophe should be avoided in GMAT ? ? You should avoid using possessive nouns as antecedents not possessive nouns themselves.

Between A and C - C is better as its very concise.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

You can mention the source where you read this :) That would be helpful for others as well right.
