D. justify your point of view.

Answer 1

the answer is c, to give proper credit to those authors whose work you have used

Answer 2

You always have to give credit to the authors whose work you have used. If you don't then that is plagiarism and you could get into huge trouble. As a college student I know that if you were to plagiarize then you would be asked to leave and it could also show up on your record employers see.
