The correct answer is D. We loved reading In Search of Our Mother's Gardens by Alice Walker

Step-by-step explanation:

Capitalization refers to writing the first letter of words in uppercase, according to grammar the first letter after a period or the first letter in a title or beginning of a sentence should be always capitalized, in this case, the first word in the sentence is "We" and it is correctly capitalized. Additionally, proper nouns such as names of people or names of places should be always capitalized as in "Alice Waker" who is an American writer and a proper noun. Finally, in the case of literary works and other types of works all content words should be capitalized, it means all words of the name of the word should be capitalized except by prepositions such as in, of, under, between, articles such as an, a or the; and conjunctions such as but or and, except if any of this is the first word, this implies the correct form of capitalization of the literary work by Alice Walker is "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens" because all words are capitalized except by the word "of" which is a preposition and should not be capitalized, also the word "In" despite being a preposition is correctly capitalized because it is the first word of the literary work.
