In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism

ORIGINAL VERSION
Major changes within organizations are usually initiated by those who are in power. Such decision-makers sponsor the change and then appoint someone else - perhaps the director of training - to be responsible for implementing and managing change. Whether the appointed change agent is in training development or not, there is often the implicit assumption that training will "solve the problem." And, indeed, training may solve part of the problem.... The result is that potentially effective innovations suffer misuse, or even no use, in the hands of uncommitted users.

Answer:

(C) This is not plagiarism

Step-by-step explanation:

In this type of research, plagiarism is the act of using the ideas of someone else without acknowledging the owner of the original idea.

From the example above, the student clearly provided the information regarding where he/she citate the information along with additional reference of the original works. This is considered as an acknowledgement. Because of this, it can't be considered as plagiarism.
