Let's say we have a number of batches of honey. Two of the batches belong to John. One of those two batches is expensive and the other one isn't.

Which of the following sentence would be correct in that context:

a. This honey is expensive. That one isn't.
b. This honey belonging to John is expensive. That other one isn't.
c. This honey of John's is expensive. That other one isn't.
d. This honey of John is expensive. That other one isn't.

Many thanks.
