Answer; A
Quotations should be set off from the rest of the text with a narrower margin when they reach four lines or longer.

Explanation;
A quotation is an exact reproduction of another speaker's or writer's words. It is different from a paraphrase, which involves writing another person's ideas, using your own words.
Quotation, paraphrase and summary are three ways of incorporating information from other sources into your own writing.
