Answer:

A hanging indent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indent means starting the first line further away from the margin of the rest of the sentence.

A hanging indent refers to the first line being closer to the margin than the rest of the sentence.

This type of indent allows for a more visually appealing bibliography and makes it easier for the reader to quickly skim through the bibliography without having much problems while doing it.
