Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inserting a citation is the best way for Aamir to give credit to the source of a quotation. This will provide a clear reference to the source in the body of the paper, and also allow the reader to easily find the full reference in the list of works cited or bibliography. Option A would be too time-consuming and potentially prone to errors, while options B and C are better suited for providing additional information or clarification, rather than simply crediting a source for a quotation.
