The correct option is C. The book's story was pretty exciting ,even though its cover was not. You have to use the form book's because we are talking about one book only, so the correct possessive form of a singular noun is created by adding an apostrophe and then letter S. So book becomes book's. Also, the pronoun that refers to the book is it, and the possessive form of it is - its. It's is a shortened version of it is, and it is not a pronoun like its is.

C. The book's story was pretty exciting, even though its cover was not.

The apostrophe rule we are looking for here is the possessive rule for the apostrophe.  Because only one book is being talked about, we’ll need the singular possessive form, which is book’s.  The rule of adding an apostrophe has, however, an exception.  For the pronoun “it,” an apostrophe “s” indicates the contraction of “it is.”  As such, to make it possessive, only an “s” is added (without an apostrophe) as in its.
