Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Citing involves referencing the sources you used in your research paper, giving credit to the authors or creators of those sources. Choice A, mentioning, is too vague and does not specifically relate to giving credit in research papers. Choice C, assigning, is incorrect because it implies giving credit to oneself or others for work rather than giving credit to sources referenced. Choice D, noting, is also too vague and does not specifically relate to giving credit in research papers.
