Answer:

You should express it in your own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your own words is very likely not to be on another website/test source. So, therefore it won't look like you stole something.

To paraphrase properly you should express the main ideas in your own words. The definition of paraphrase is "a rewording of something written or spoken by someone else" so b would make the most sense. Although if you do want an alternate than you could choose d. But that one doesn't seem as good as this b.
