Answer 2

The correct answer is B, to give credit to the original source. The purpose of citations (typically at the end of a paper) is to give credit to the original source of information you used from someone else’s work. It is a required process when writing a paper, otherwise it is known as “plagiarism” or copying someone else’s work. A common citation format is MLA format, but there are other formats as well.
