The first one is wrong because the possessive needs to be used with girl's as it is referring to their basketball team.
Their is already a possesive pronoun, so you don't need an apostrophe.
The third one is incorrect as children is alread plural so the apostrophe comes after "n" as in "children's"
The fourth one is also wrong. There is only one subject, so the sentence should read 'Carl and Sara's schoolbooks are on the kitchen table.'
Good Luck.

To show that there are similar items which are owned individually by different owners, make each owner in the series possessive.
