Explanation:

The word "furniture" is an uncountable noun, so it does not have a plural form with an "s" added. The original "furniture's" is possessive, but in the context of "a piece of furniture's life cycle", we just need the singular non - possessive form "furniture" for correct grammar. Option A has the possessive which is not needed here, option B and C use incorrect plural forms. So the correct option is D.

Answer:

D. furniture
