Correct answer!
Comment:
Here we use the plural of the Saxon genitive (e.g. one month's rent; two months' rent). Option B is therefore wrong.
Option A is incorrect because 'rent' is uncountable (you pay rent monthly or on a monthly basis, but you don't pay twelve rents). 'A deposit of three months' rent' would also be possible here.
