My experience in Hor came as a stark contrast to accounts I’d read of earlier first travel encounters with Lake Manasarovar.
 

  • A.belonging to earlier traveller’s first encounters with Lake Manasarovar.
  • B.of earlier travellers’ first encounters with Lake Manasarovar.
  • C.of first encounters by Lake Manasarovar of earlier travellers.
  • D.no improvement needed.

Answer: B

It should read of earlier travellers' first encounters with Lake Manasarovar.

The encounters belong to several travellers, so the apostrophe follows the plural s. Encounter takes with before the thing met, and the word order must put earlier travellers next to what is theirs.
