Answer:

The correct answer is opton A) Garcia-Lopez, Alba, Sr.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to MLA rules and guidelines for citations, when citing an author in the Works Cited entry, the following should be considered:

  • If the author cited has a title such as Dr., it should not be included in the works cited list.
  • If the author has a suffix in his name (Jr. Sr.) it should not be included in the in-text citation but it should be included in the works cited list with the following format: last name, name, suffix as in "Garcia-Lopez, Alba, Sr."

The rest of he options are incorrect since they include the title of the author (option B and D) or they do not include the suffix (option C).
