About homophones:

• Two words having same pronunciation, but different spelling and meaning is called homophones -Principal and Principle.
• We have to fill in the blank with the right option given.
• In order to find out the correct answer we must read the rest of the question and get its meaning.
• In the question we see that someone is running towards an office. So it must be someone's office.
• The first option "Principle's" is wrong because 'principle' means an ideology. So there cannot be an office for an ideology.
• The second option "principle'' is also wrong for the same reason.
• The third option "Principal's" is the correct answer because 'Principal' means the head of an institution and here it is correctly given as a possessive noun -"Principal's".
• The fourth answer is wrong because the noun has no possession. That is it must be ''Principal's" and not "Principal''.
• Therefore the right answer is -Principal's
