c. alphabetical by first name

Answer 2

When a work has two authors with the same last name but different first names, they are listed in works cited:

c. Alphabetical by first name.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to APA rules, when work has two or more cited authors with the same last name, must make use of the first name, examples of this could be:

Simons, Arthur.

Simons, John.

It is demonstrated that despite the cite continue to begin by the last name, a first name that begins with "A" is first that another begins with "J".

In extreme cases when the authors have the same last name and first name, they must use the middle name letter by letter to list them.
