Because la becomes l' before a singular noun that starts with a vowel or silent h.
- la + agència → l'agència
This is called elision. It helps the sentence sound smoother.
Similar examples:
- l'escola
- l'oficina
- l'habitació
So L'agència means the agency.
The apostrophe shows that a vowel was dropped from the article la.
So:
- full form: la
- before a vowel: l'
It works much like in French, and a bit like contractions in English, though it is not optional here. In this sentence, l' is simply the feminine singular definite article before agència.
