B. The spider's web glittered with the morning dew

Explanation:

The use of an apostrophe is most commonly used to indicate the possesion of something. We ask ourselves who is in possesion of the subject in the sentence. Who does the web belong to? The Spider. The spider's web.

We can also use the process of elimination. Option A doesn't contain an apostrophe, Option C uses the incorrect possesive form of the apostrphe, and Option D shows the possesive of the incorrect. noun.
