B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You do not need to use quotation marks. Always use in-text citations when you paraphrase or summarize, to let the reader know that the information comes from another source. Continue to use signal phrases as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Include an in-text citation when you refer to, summarize, paraphrase, or quote from another source. For every in-text citation in your paper, there must be a corresponding entry in your reference list.

Detailed explanation-3: -In-Text Citations: Citations are placed in the context of discussion using the author’s last name and date of publication.
