The correct option is C) "According to the publication Childhood Sports Injuries and Their Prevention, "Any organized team activity should demonstrate a commitment to injury prevention."

When including a direct quote in a text, it should be placed inside quotation marks.

Option B is incorrect since it places not only the direct quote inside the quotation marks but also the source.

Option A is also incorrect since it does not mention the source and the punctuation of the quotation marks are not placed correctly.

And finally option D is also incorrect since it does mention the source of the direct quote.
