Determine the type of plagiarism.

Original Source Material
Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems.

Student Version
After presenting their results the authors recognize that the nature of the data they have provided "can only lead to broad and general discussions" but also suggest "that this discussion is necessary" (Rutkowski & Rutkowski, 2009, p. 150).

Answer:

C: This is not plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

The Student Version should not be considered plagiarism because there is not any aparent intention for it, as confirmed by the way is written: the student paraphrased the text to make simpler and shorter, and when the author's words were included, they were between quotation marks , and after the student's text, he or she is citing properly the source.
