It’s a possessive apostrophe
I noticed this classic grammar clanger on a promo for ER on television the other week:
I can remember my first weekly grammar test for my journalism course at university. I made this mistake too and my lecturer Sally White,  wrote “Sally sitting down because Sally feels ill” and she drew a little picture of her sitting in a chair with head stooped.
I have never forgotten the proper use of its and it’s again.
An easy way I would tell the kids I taught was to think whether they would say, “the dog wags it is (it’s) tail” or “the dog wags its tail”.
