A
source found in the electronic databases
B
newspaper or magazine article
C
book
D
website
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The DOI or URL is the final component of a reference list entry. Because so much scholarship is available and/or retrieved online, most reference list entries end with either a DOI or a URL. A DOI is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies content and provides a persistent link to its location on the internet.

Detailed explanation-2: -In an APA journal citation, if a DOI (digital object identifier) is available for an article, always include it. If an article has no DOI, and you accessed it through a database or in print, just omit the DOI.
