Brief Explanations:
In MLA in - text citation, when the author's name is mentioned in the text, only the page number is needed in parentheses. Option A correctly mentions the author's name in the text and then has the page number in parentheses. Option B has no in - text citation. Option C has an incorrect in - text citation format as the author's name is already in the text, so just the page number should be in parentheses. Option D does not mention the author's name or the source title, making the citation incomplete.
