Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Option D effectively incorporates the source material while properly attributing the quote to its origin, thus avoiding plagiarism. By using quotation marks and citing the source, it acknowledges the original author’s contribution.

Option A fails to credit the source, presenting the information as original work. Option B paraphrases but does not cite the source, which can still be considered plagiarism. Option C includes a citation but does not use quotation marks for the sourced material, leading to potential misrepresentation of the original text. Proper attribution is crucial in academic writing to maintain integrity and respect for original authorship.
