direct quotation from source material

Answer 2

All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Citation exemplifies the reference to a source in the bibliography that could be published or unpublished. It is a type of acknowledgment to the source that has been used in research or paper to support the claims and arguments presented in the work and establish the credibility among the readers. Information taken from either a published or unpublished source must be cited in the bibliography. Thus, all the given options 'paraphrase of source material', 'summary of source material', or 'direct quotation from source material' must be cited as they all are used as sources to substantiate the central argument of the work. Thus, they need to be cited to avoid plagiarism, establish credibility, and substantiate the claim.
