If I am not wrong then all 3 are singular.

it - subjective pronoun
its - possessive pronoun
it's - shortform of 'it is'

It's is a contraction of "it is" or "it has."

Its is the possessive form of "it."

If you can replace it's in your sentence with "it is" or "it has", then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its.
