It's is it is
and its is possesive..
so I think the answer is it's
 
Even I got confused but some one corrected me it would be "it's"

The correct answer is "it's." Every sentence needs a verb and here it is to be : "it is."

"Its" is a possessive adjective.

Stephen is right.
 
The correct answer is - It's

Explanation: It's is a short form of It is. On the other hand its defines something belonging to something, e.g. What is the color of Apple? = its color is red.

I hope my answer is clear to you. By the way, English is not my native language, neither is Spanish but I teach people these two languages as my hobby.
 
It's is always an abbreviation of it is. Whereas its is used when an item belongs to something.

I think it's a mistake. (I think it is a mistake)
