In the given sentence, the rules in using quotation marks are correctly applied; however, it is missing an internal citation for the source of the quote. The answer is letter C. In using in-text citation with an author, it should always include the page number. Since the name of the author is written in the sentence, the page number enclosed in parenthesis, should be put at the end of the sentence.
