B)Parenthetical citations are in-text citations to document outside sources within a document, usually including the author's last name and the page numbers for the material cited.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following is an example of parenthetical citation.

There are many great examples of rhyme throughout the story. One example is "Not in a box. Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse" (Seuss 24). The rhyming words are box and fox, house and mouse.

This quote is from "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. The parenthetical citation is within the text of the essay and comes immediately after the quoted or paraphrased information. The information in the parentheses is the author's last name and page number where the cited material can be found. Also, it is important to note that the parenthetical citation is before the end punctuation of the sentence.
