B)Parenthetical citations are in-text citations to document outside sources within a document, usually including the author's last name and the page numbers for the material cited. Depending on what style of research formatting you choose, the formatting of citations can vary somewhat. I compared both MLA and APA, although I'm assuming you are studying MLA because that style is used in literature and language studies; parenthetical citations are citations that are found in parentheses within the text. Therefore, D is eliminated. Parenthetical citations are found at the end of a quote or paraphrase, usually at the end of a sentence, which eliminates C. That leaves A and B as options. This why the research style is so important: some citations involve adding certain information like author's name, page number, and possibly the year of publication. However, it is unusual to include the title in a citation (I'm not aware of any that require this), so that is why B is the correct answer.
