Make sure you acknowledge who said the quote or introduce it somehow so it's not an isolated quote.

Answer:

The sentence that best integrates the quote into the text is C. Dr. Glass asserts, "there is absolutely no proof that breaking a mirror can cause bad luck."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct way to introduce a quotation when the introductory phrase is not a complete sentence -like Dr. Glass asserts- is to separate it from the quotation with a comma.

Moreover, in America, commas and periods should always go inside the quotation marks -like in "...bad luck."

Therefore, sentence C is the one that best integrates the quote into the text.
